"We Keep Inflation Under Control"....What planet does Janet Yellen live on?

[NHLblkgurl]

Pretty scary when our own president and his own appointed Treasury Secretary are the only two bozos on the planet who couldn’t see the obvious looming inflation/high inflation/long term inflation trajectory. (And ranted that was “MAGA conspiracy”.

Latest trading outside the dollar - Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, India, China, etc.

Yellen's education is relevant. It is a shame she can't remember what she was taught 68 years ago though.

Keep our dollars at home for infrastructure! Reduce our deficit ! Make us energy independent !
I am not an economist and know this is what we need !
Yellen is right up there with Harris on word salad !

[NHLblkgurl]

She may not know DiK about economics, but it’s still a great portrait of her crossing the Delaware on Xmas in 1776.

[graymatters]

And she’s more beautiful than competent.

[gloriadzialo]

Is it me, or does this administration talk in circles and never answer's the question.
Whole Administration word salads.

[riverspirit]

0:03 potential weakening? Potential weakening? You believe this 3% inflation? Get grandma moses out of government today.

[makellyjt]

Mergers should be evaluated carefully as the consequences create hardship on the public due to low competition.

[geneduclos]

Why are these people allowed to never be prepared to provide answers to the questions! What good are these hearings!

[riverspirit]

3:15 so what the back and forth? Rhis happens with dementia patients..whats the crazytalk?

[JDoomhauer]

Anybody want to place bets on when that old bat will croak?

[Barskor]

Here is a clue for the ignorant when the Federal Reserve Bank's yearly target inflation is 2% or any other positive number the Federal Reserve Bank Note aka US Dollar is being deliberately weakened through inflation of 2% or more IE your savings and purchasing power drops by that percentage EVERY YEAR.

[Traveler-PKK]

What has sanctions actually done? We need a list to see how effective it is. I don't see any results except pissing other countries off and them finding a work around that causes greater harm - the ends do not justify the means. We need a better plan moving forward?

Man I love our upper midwest accent. Just great on capitol hill.
