This demo is surprising. Check your cards.

No RFID cards here

Think Passport and/or TWIC cards.

We are WAY behind Europe in regards to personal finance like debit
cards, etc.


In what respect? What is the advantage to debit cards?

We have debit cards because we don't need or want credit. Credit cards
are one of the reasons the American economy is in the shape it is in,
now.

I will note, that a LOT of the unmanageable credit run up on credit
cards is due to the uncontrolled expense of health care.

The federal government should be run on debit cards.
If you can't live within a realistic budget, you shouldn't be allowed
credit in the first place.

When is the last time the U.S. even had a budget? What a horrible
example to set before the American people.
