Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Vows to Put U.S. Budget on Blockchain for Transparency and Anti-Corruption Agenda
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making waves in the political arena with his bold promise to revolutionize government transparency and combat corruption by putting the entire U.S. budget on blockchain.
Speaking at a rally in Michigan, the independent presidential candidate declared his intention to utilize blockchain technology to allow every American citizen access to every budget item, 24 hours a day. This move would essentially create a ledger of transactions associated with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, enabling taxpayers to track government spending in real-time.
Kennedy emphasized the importance of this initiative, highlighting past instances of exorbitant spending such as the infamous $640 toilet seat purchased by the Pentagon. By putting the budget on blockchain, he believes that “300 million eyeballs” will ensure accountability and prevent wasteful expenditures.
Having recently qualified for the presidential ballot in several states, including Michigan, Hawaii, and Utah, Kennedy is gaining momentum in his campaign. He has also garnered attention for his unconventional stance on issues such as vaccines and technology, with his selection of vice presidential running mate Nicole Shanahan reflecting his anti-big tech sentiments.
In a surprising move, Kennedy has openly endorsed Bitcoin and accepted campaign donations in the cryptocurrency. If elected, he plans to back the U.S. dollar with Bitcoin and oppose the Federal Reserve’s efforts to introduce a central bank digital currency, citing concerns about privacy and civil rights.
With his innovative approach to governance and commitment to transparency, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is positioning himself as a formidable contender in the upcoming presidential race, challenging traditional political norms and advocating for a more open and accountable government.
