Tulsi Gabbard, a former presidential candidate and political commentator, has expressed her opposition to the Biden administration. According to reports, the administration proposed the development of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the United States, which Gabbard is firmly against.
Gabbard, known for her progressive views and vocal criticism of government policies, argues that a CBDC could have severe implications for its users. As per Gabbard’s tweet, the government’s CBDC plans could ultimately lead to a loss of financial privacy and personal autonomy. This is because the government would record and track every transaction made using digital currency.
She further claims that this level of government oversight could have profound implications for civil liberties and individual freedoms. Particularly in the era of widespread digital surveillance and data breaches.
Moreover, as cash becomes increasingly obsolete and the use of digital currencies more prevalent, the potential risks and challenges associated with CBDCs are likely to become more pronounced. As a result, raising essential questions about the role of government and the future of money in a digital age.
On the other hand, Gabbard emphasized the need for collective action to safeguard our freedom. She achieved this by rallying citizens to fight the government’s efforts to create a cashless, digital society.
