Except it doesn't really mean that. This thought comes from a lack of imagination by those considering it.
I've been researching this for a while. The US probably won't do it the straightforward way. They will raise taxes to egregious levels, and then the IRS will offer "tax credits" back to us. These tax credits will be in the form of a CBDC. Think what they did with stimulus checks. And as SCOTUS ruled with Obamacare, this will be deemed legal because Congress has the explicit power to raise taxes. No Amendment will be necessary.
Officially, there will still be a constitutional USD, but nobody will use those in commerce. Egregious capital gains on ridiculously inflated currency and other transaction fees will make them irrelevant. Eventually, after a decade or two, once people accept the new reality, then they will push the Amendment in order to "simplify" everyone's life. And by this point, there will be no resistance left.
Do you really think expanding the IRS was just to go after a few tax cheats?
I see your point.
But half of the country is already aware of this.
It's not about whether can they put it in place. Can they KEEP it in place?
How many people are going to lie down and accept it?
