“This is central bank digital currency for cattle.” ~ Congressman Thomas Massie
This week, we are compelled to give thanks and once again recognize five-time Solari Hero of the Week Congressman Thomas Massie. This is the second time in the span of a month that we are highlighting Massie in Pushback of the Week, this time for his apt criticism of the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of an omnibus budget bill that allocates $15 million to begin electronically tracking all cattle in the United States.
The funding is contingent on the USDA issuing a final rule on mandatory electronic ID for cattle and bison. Efforts are being made to stop the final rule. We encourage you to read the action alert from the Farm & Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA) and take appropriate action.
The Solari Report acknowledges Congressman Massie’s exceptional commitment to both shining a light on and tackling critical issues of our time.
