The inflation is sky high partly because she has not been doing a good job. The least she can do is to resign and let someone with real talent have a chance to work on the problem.

"I didn't know what was happening when I said inflation was transitory. I still don't know what's going on but I think you should trust the experts and let us borrow and spend a few trillion more and just see what happens."

[justovaccu]

Taxes was supposed to temporary as well yet we’re still paying

[christophergill]

Can u imagine what that build back better bill would have done more inflation! Thank Goodness for Manchin killing that bill, lots of Americans don’t even know what they are voting for

Is there a dumber person on the planet to watch over the economy?

Don’t worry folks, to dull out the pain and anxiety of it all, you can easily obtain a prescription for the benzodiazepines that they hand out like candy to our kids, or just go by your local city hospitals and score some of the prescription meds on sale out front. Gotta support the little guys who need to sell their free scripts to buy food.

Thanks democrats you voted this in.. now that people are actually starving and can't afford the gas to get to work so they can't pay the historic high inflation prices and taxes. Are you happy with yourself???

[johnq.]

Yellen just needed to tell people something so the stupid could intimidate the intelligent into silence.

[Buttersausage]

She admitted she was wrong something politicians can’t do

[edwardgeezil]

I’m sorry but the woman doesn’t seem to know anything, am I sexist now?

[larrydallas]

Didn't she say Where's the Beef?

[curte]

how does this Old Crow keep her job?

the answer is because she's perfect for her position and she fits right into the agenda.

[yodae]

When do we Limit Profit margins on Monopolys? When do we force the slavers to pay a living wage? When will equality mean people get a chance just a little more like the 50s when we had 50% unions and living wages and people SINGLE people actually owned homes. WHen will life not be an attack on the American people. Where is the Dream.
