“It’s only a matter of time“
You bet it’s only a matter of time until the Republicans force a cashless society on America.
Hopefully the Democrats will put a stop to this big government move by the conservatives.
“Democratic lawmakers and advocates warned at a congressional hearing Thursday that even with the proliferation of credit and mobile payments, putting restrictions on cash payments would harm low-income Americans who do not have a bank account.
Rep. Donald Payne Jr. (D-N.J.), who introduced a bill this year that would prohibit retail businesses from refusing cash payments, argued that Americans should be able to decide whether they want to use cash.
“It’s about choice,” Payne said in an interview with the Hill. “To eliminate a choice is un-American.”
Payne’s bill, the Payment Choice Act of 2019, has bipartisan support among its 34 co-sponsors.
He argued that a transition toward a cashless America would be to the detriment of people who do not have a bank account or who distrust banks.“
