Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on the Dangers of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)
May 10, 2023

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," Governor Ron DeSantis tells me.
A CBDC would be a cryptocurrency, one controlled by the federal government.
The Joe Biden administration says a CBDC would "protect consumers, investors... and 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 minute, Climate change... You can't be doing that! ...You bought another firearm? No, no, no.'"
He's is so upset about this new plan, he just persuaded Florida's legislature to ban the CBDC's use in Florida.

Description:
After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom.
Libertarian journalist John Stossel created Stossel TV to explain liberty and free markets to young people.
Prior to Stossel TV he hosted a show on Fox Business and co-anchored ABC's primetime newsmagazine show, 20/20.
Stossel's economic programs have been adapted into teaching kits by a non-profit organization, "Stossel in the Classroom." High school teachers in American public schools now use the videos to help educate their students on economics and economic freedom. They are seen by more than 12 million students every year.
Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Other honors include the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
