Rep. Eric Burlison, a U.S. Congressman representing Missouri’s 7th district, recently posted a series of statements on his social media account addressing government transparency, national debt, and digital currency policy.
On July 17, 2025, Burlison wrote, “It’s time for our government to stop hiding the truth from the American people.”
Later that day, he commented on fiscal policy: “The rescissions package is a good start, but we need many more. Our $37 trillion debt demands serious action.” This statement highlights concerns about the growing national debt and calls for further legislative measures beyond current efforts.
On July 18, 2025, Burlison addressed digital currency and privacy issues in another post: “We don’t want a social credit system like China, it’s absolutely critical the Senate takes up our ban on CBDC.” His remarks reflect ongoing debates in Congress regarding Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and potential implications for personal freedoms.
Burlison has represented Missouri’s 7th District in Congress since 2023 after succeeding Billy Long. He previously served in both chambers of the Missouri legislature between 2009 and 2023. Born in Springfield in 1976 and currently residing in Ozark, Burlison holds two degrees from Missouri State University.
