The debate around economic control in the U.S. has reached a boiling point, with former Congressman Ron Paul and financial author Robert Kiyosaki raising alarms over government spending and the Federal Reserve’s influence on financial markets.
In a recent post on X, Ron Paul criticized both political parties for escalating government spending, particularly the approval of a $1 trillion military budget. Paul warned that this growing debt and surveillance measures like REAL ID are pushing the U.S. toward centralized control, which threatens decentralization. He stressed that simply swapping one party for another won’t solve the problem—what’s needed is a complete overhaul of the system.
Echoing Paul’s concerns, Robert Kiyosaki condemned the Federal Reserve and central banks for manipulating interest rates, a practice he called “price fixing.” He compared this system to Marxist-style central planning, where false statistics and corrupt leaders erode personal wealth and freedom. Kiyosaki also warned that the manipulation of currency harms the economy and strips away individual autonomy.
The Path to Financial Freedom: Decentralization
Kiyosaki believes the solution lies in rejecting fiat currency and shifting to decentralized assets such as Bitcoin, gold, and silver. In his view, these tangible assets are the only way to preserve personal freedom and safeguard wealth from government-controlled financial systems. By embracing decentralization, Kiyosaki argues, Americans can break free from what he sees as an impending socialist takeover driven by economic manipulation.
Ron Paul is a former U.S. Congressman and libertarian known for advocating limited government, sound money, and decentralization.
