The “No Central Bank Digital Currency Act” (No CBDC Act) reads:
“No Federal reserve bank, the Board, the Secretary of the Treasury, any other agency... may mint or issue a central bank digital currency... No Federal reserve bank may hold digital currencies minted or issued by the United States Government as assets or liabilities...”
Get behind it and spread the word.
As many have been saying for some time, this newest banking crisis is just the thing they need to exploit a panic and introduce it.
They want the ability to spend and spend on every boondoggle and bailout put in front of them, without the "hindrance" of the Fed actually having to print the paper dollars they create out of thin air.
And even more, the government wants a currency they can monitor, profile you with, and if needed, confiscate from you with the push of a button. A total loss of freedom and privacy if a Central Bank Digital Currency replaces the (already very problematic) dollars we have now.
Look at what happened even in early trials of the Chinese digital yuan: China canceled its citizens’ money after a set period, forcing Chinese citizens to spend their savings at the compulsion of the government.
All the “No CBDC Act” does is strengthen existing law by replacing an omission of authority with a hard prohibition. Congress never authorized the creation of a CBDC, and the Federal Reserve is not permitted to operate without congressional authority.
From Ron Paul
Mike is okay, but remember that Republicans do this kind of thing when they have no power. This will not get passed because Republicans have no power to make it happen! Best case scenario: it gets vetoed by Biden.
Republicans pull this kind of stunt to get donations and to point and say "look what I totally tried" when they want to get re-elected.
In short: this is just theater.
Theater it may be... but it also shows the people who voted against it.
Who would have thought 68 senators would vote to end the EAU? That completely took me by surprise. Let's pray there's a congressional awakening and they do the right thing. NO CBDC!
Thank you, Senator Lee. Amy member of congress who opposes this bill should be removed from congress.
I wouldn't say he just did it...
"Sen. Lee, Mike [R-UT] (Introduced 09/13/2022)"
Information I received from Ron Paul is dated 03/28/23. Has he reintroduced it?
No idea, but the dot gov site says only that it was introduced in 9/22, with no further action.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4831?s=1&r=14
It was shelved for one reason or another. It appears Lee was able to submit it.
A rino blocking rinos? ok
I'm not a Senator Lee fan because of his past record as a RINO, but of late he has caught my attention of doing the right thing.
