Rand Simberg makes an excellent point: it’s hard to stamp “Tax Cheat” on every dollar bill with Geithner’s signature on it that you’ll see in the future if you don’t actually use dollar bills in the first place.
I mean, soda machines and strip clubs are pretty much everything that you need dollars for these days; and I don’t use either. Not that I’m especially virtuous; I’m just kind of a cheapskate.
Man, the future just sneaks up on a person, sometimes.
