> Debit cards come to mind, if only they were managed by the government and not by private entities.

What govt would resist the temptation to do dumb things with debit cards?

For example, the combination of school locations and laws about how close some people can live to schools means that there are many cities where such people can't live. (The specific category that I'm thinking of is registered sex offenders but there are others.)

Govt means that the majority gets to decide what happens to the minority. What could possibly go wrong....
