It is a 4th amendment violation for the government to collect this info itself. The dodge is private corporations collect the info and then give or sell it to the government.
Which should still be a 4th amendment violation, but too many squishy judges don't throw out those arguments.
“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”
Get people to put their money in cash, then inflate the *expletive deleted*it out of it and voila!
Invest in precious metals, brass, copper, lead...
I agree... getting a person's bank records should require a warrant. It is an obvious fourth amendment issue. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is full of weasels. You have a right to privacy in your "papers" but that doesn't include bank records?!?!?

Ahh, but you see, they're planning on "compromising" on that, with the "compromising" on that dollar value lending legitimacy to the concept as a whole, with subsequent "compromises" ultimately leading right back to their ultimate goal.Oh, you naïve conservatives!
