Financial privacy has practically vanished over the last 50 years. Most people are in denial about it, and still believe that their relationship with their bank or their credit union is confidential -- the reality couldn’t be further from that.

I did not know all of this, and my bet is not many do understand how our information is being shared with the Government.
It is a huge cost to all of us to pay Banks to give our data to the Federal Government.
We should all be concerned by this government overreach.
and we are so far into this digital world with every transaction recorded it is so easy for each transaction to be monitored. And it's easier for us to use a card rather than cash. I do my best to use cash when out and about in my community. Shopping online i will use paypal rather than my card. But I doubt that helps much.
