Yes, but I would prefer to NOT use a private network like Venmo if possible. For one, if it was government-issued with government benefits, everyone would have it, not just tech savvy people. Most Americans don't have Venmo, but almost everyone has some form of government ID (or would get one if they could receive some benefit).

- ralph84 5y agoMost Americans may not have Venmo, but certainly all Americans have ways to send money to each other. What problem are you really hoping to solve with government Venmo?
- _xnmw 5y agoThe ability to send money to any American, instantly, with zero or minimal fees, without having to load my money into a private network like Venmo. Gee, whiz.
