Astonishing Statement! U.S. Presidential Candidate: National Budget to be Put on Blockchain to Allow 300 Million People to Jointly Monitor and Inspect

At a rally in Michigan, U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that blockchain technology could play a crucial role in enhancing government transparency and advocated for a Web 3.0 overhaul of the federal budget. He proposed that, if elected, he would put the national budget on the blockchain, allowing all 300 million Americans to inspect it 24/7.

According to Decrypt, Kennedy, a long-time Bitcoin supporter, mentioned, "I will place the entire U.S. budget on the blockchain so that every American can check every item in the budget at any time, 24 hours a day."

Kennedy's latest comments continue his ongoing campaign to promote cryptocurrency technology to improve national economic management. In July 2023, he proposed a gradual implementation of plans to back the dollar with Bitcoin and exempt Bitcoin from capital gains tax after his election.

At that time, he emphasized that Bitcoin is not a security and does not need regulation. He also stated he would end the current U.S. President Joe Biden's era of Choke Point 2.0, which oppresses cryptocurrency firms.

However, Kennedy admitted that while blockchain can empower citizens in governmental oversight, transparency could also become a weapon used against them.

He expressed caution towards Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), describing the technology as "tools of control and oppression that will definitely be misused."

According to CNN, Kennedy and other independent candidates are performing exceptionally well in early polls for this fall's presidential election, highlighting the public's dissatisfaction with both Biden and Trump, and adding further uncertainty.

Results from five national polls in early March showed that Kennedy's independent presidential campaign averaged 13% support when his name was explicitly included in the survey questions.

According to the Daily Mail, the latest NBC poll shows Kennedy gaining attention as an independent candidate due to voters' reluctance to see a Biden vs. Trump rematch, positioning him as a pivotal figure in the 2024 election.

The poll indicates that Kennedy has 13% voter support, significantly higher than other independent candidates like Green Party's Jill Stein with 3% and Cornel West at 2%.

Interestingly, Kennedy earlier revealed that Donald Trump's team had approached him to consider being the former president's running mate.

However, Trump's joint campaign manager, Chris LaCivita, quickly denied Kennedy's claim.

Kennedy told ABC News, "We'll have no issues going to the polls on our own; we won't be running as Libertarians."
