Sen. Cynthia Lummis said the U.S. fiscal trajectory is unsustainable and argued Bitcoin may be one of the few tools that could help address the burden facing younger Americans.
Sen. Cynthia Lummis said the United States is on an unsustainable fiscal path and framed Bitcoin as a potential tool for younger Americans as the country grapples with rising debt. In a post on X, Lummis wrote, "Our debt is real. Our fiscal trajectory is unsustainable," and added that "#Bitcoin is one of the few tools that could help right that wrong for younger Americans." Her remarks reflect a broader argument from some Bitcoin advocates that the asset can serve as a hedge against long-term currency debasement and fiscal strain, though the post did not outline a specific policy proposal.
