Just bought more 5.56 ammo, now off to Sam's to buy a few cases of toilet paper! Talk about something maintaining it's value!!MechAg94 wrote:If the Govt got rid of cash, something would immediately take it's place. It might be coins, it might be bottles of Tide, or toilet paper. There will always be a black market that will have some kind of cash equivalent for trade in addition to the people who just want something outside of the electronic currency.
My thought about Govt control was about government taking control of pay and income as well as just the money.

Re: BBC's "The End of Cash". Pros & cons of ending cash.
Much like gun control, cash control isn't about the cash, it's about the control.
Once the government no longer has an armed citizenry to worry about, it is able to move to other forms of control and the control of money is got to be #2 on the list after firearms. Restricting freedom of speech and religion, peaceful assembly, due process, etc are very easy when the government has total control of your money. Think your neighbor will turn you in for illegal firearms and ammo or hoarding food and resources if the government threatens to turn off their money?
