Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is advocating for increased transparency in government spending, emphasizing the importance of blockchain technology to achieve this goal. During a rally in Michigan, Kennedy expressed his intention to leverage blockchain to make the entire US budget accessible to the public, enabling every American to scrutinize budget items around the clock.

Kennedy’s proposal aims to address historical controversies, such as exorbitant costs for items like toilet seats, by leveraging the transparency and accountability offered by blockchain technology. However, the implementation of such a comprehensive system for tracking government transactions would present significant challenges.

Given the projected government expenditure of approximately $3.8 trillion for the year, Kennedy faces a formidable task in realizing his vision of blockchain-based budget transparency. Despite the complexities involved, Kennedy remains a staunch advocate for cryptocurrency, even accepting campaign contributions in bitcoin and holding a substantial amount of cryptocurrency in the past.

Kennedy’s commitment to cryptocurrency has earned him favorable ratings from organizations like Stand with Crypto, which awarded him an “A” grade for his advocacy of sensible regulations in the crypto industry. In comparison, former President Donald Trump received a “B” grade, while President Joe Biden was rated a “D” by the same organization.

In a recent NBC poll featuring Kennedy, Biden, Trump, Cornel West, and Jill Stein, Kennedy garnered 13% support. Notably, this poll was conducted before other members of the Kennedy family endorsed Biden over Robert Kennedy Jr. Despite this, the independent candidate expressed his unwavering love for his family, regardless of their political differences.
