Greg Reese reports on the 1975 New York City debt crisis as a turning point where financial institutions took direct control of municipal governance from politicians. The segment draws parallels to modern efforts to implement Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which would grant governments absolute control over individual spending. This transition is described as a move toward a programmable, cashless society where undesirable purchases like ammunition could be blocked.
