What other plan is available if the government decides on eliminating cash? Considering the fantastic marks it receives in terms of handling money and debt and such, I doubt there would be an overwhelming consensus in losing even more security when it comes to our money and finances. The government might be able to monetarily devalue what its coins and currency represent but it can never take away the intrinsic value of those with actual worth. Changing an entire way of life is never easy but there are ways and there must be ways found to overcome such shenanigans.
