CfG President McIntosh Statement on Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act Vote

Washington, D.C. – Club for Growth President David McIntosh issues the following statement after the House successfully passed the Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s Anti-Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Surveillance State Act:

“The House’s passage of Whip Emmer’s Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act is an important step in protecting American citizens from federal overreach in their finances,” said Club for Growth President David McIntosh. “A CBDC in the United States would emulate the Chinese Communist Party and undermine the fundamental freedoms our nation was founded upon by allowing unelected federal authorities to restrict how consumers spend their hard-earned paychecks.  We are proud to have worked with Whip Emmer to pass this landmark legislation and ensure liberty prevails for future generations.”
