Florida Gov. Ron De Santis on the Dangers of a Central Bank Digital Currency ( CBDC)

The federal government and the media are excited about something new: a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). I think it would be a total disaster, Gov. Ron DeSantis tells me. To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: A CBDC would be a cryptocurrency, one controlled by the federal government. The Biden administration says a CBDC would protect consumers, the environment. DeSantis tells me, Sometimes government does things that may appear to be benevolent but really are kind of like a wolf in sheep s clothing. This is a wolf coming as a wolf. DeSantis says the government will use digital money to spy on us and control our behavior. You re filling up too much with gas. Wait a minuteClimate change You can t be doing that You bought another firearm No, no, He s is so upset about this new plan, he just persuaded Floridas legislature to ban the CBDC s use in Florida.
