The fox won't willingly give up the ability to be in charge of the henhouse. The only prayer one has to keep this from being abused constantly and on a widescale is for there to be a Constitutional amendment specifically addressing the issue and limiting the government's power in this area. Anything less will be subject to change and weakening by Congress and the various state legislatures.
Unfortunately, the country is far too fractured to come together in the required numbers to pass such an amendment. Once one "side" comes out in support, the other will reflexively come out against it. The only exception is if they both have agreed on how to neuter it into being useless for protecting the people.

- jqpabc123 4y agoGood for them. No one is trying to stop anyone from using cash. But the 19th century doesn't work for everyone.
