It's way above my pay grade, but I guess if we had some sort of economic collapse or if enough people feared a collapse, they might be agreeable to accept a gauranteed government check instead of relying on a private account.
Someone supposedly asked the famous bank robber, Willie Sutton, why he robbed banks. He said, because that's where they keep the money. If the government gets desperate enough, who knows.
