They’d love the power to turn off your money and life with a light-switch.

Anything this goofy woman is in favor of you know is a disaster

[NHLblkgurl]

Maybe you can help out with all that Fannie Mae money you and Sydney walked away with in the 2008 crash, your One United “affordable housing” specialist bank foreclosed on so many POC?

CBDC doesn't offer anything more than conventional currency which serves us well other than total state control of citizens financial assets.
They are a tool for fascism. Bear this in mind when viewing those in favour of this development.

Is that Maxine Waters? I thought it was James Brown!

It’s one thing to not write your own speech (she clearly has no idea what she is talking about), it’s something different altogether to deliver it like the 2nd grade narrator at a school christmas pageant.

Well at least she's honest about trying to get us up to speed with China and Russia. What's not to like?!

[Rolandjes]

It we just came to agreement with China for the dept an not obligated to pay them back. We could low prize for products and materials. Let us be an transparent and honest, that's a lot money and there no way in a half a millennium, It would be possible to pay that back. And if we owe Great Britain It makes it nearly losing battle in this country to ever get out of debt. We buy everything from China from TVs to pencils I have been for a long time. We've been working with them as co-partners and consuming their products. So they can work with us I'm forgetting the debt we owe them. On one side we can just forget about that money and go on and live our life lower prices for materials and products for Americans. But that means that we can't buy China's products for what they're selling for. It's not very hard of a decision to Come to an agreement on What both countries want. And move on with our lives our children don't have to pay the cost of some politicians agreement borrow money from China.
