The government is already too big a percentage of the economy. A storm is brewing. Vote red.

[robfarrell]

This coming from the woman who said inflation didn’t exist and then it would be transitory lol.

[jasonlarsen]

Remember when grandma yellen said inflation was temporary. Super genius

[EB-duvh]

Good lord she is a joke. What are we doing here people ?

[megamaga]

*"By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."* - John Maynard Keyne

[kennyc]

The factor she lied than said she was wrong, this admin is a complete fialure.

[needdemdogz]

this woman needs to be stopped immediately!

[timothypopik]

Whatever happened to "It is TRANSITORY"? Ask Yellen.

[tedrees]

What about the theory that it is a price-profit inflation spriral? The corporations continue to raise prices, even as their profits rise, and wages stagnate. ??

[myohmy]

Standing up to the powerful Democrat machine takes courage. Very powerful Very monolithic. Resist indoctrination!

[jeffcarver]

50% of today's inflation is the result of Corporate Greed through price gouging

[chrisgrx]

Didn’t mention droughts, ,, food unsecured next year. Money will worth nothing.

[terrancecloverfield]

This is the same person that claimed inflation is transitory back last year. Replace her with someone with more fiscal responsibility.

[QwkDraw]

This is the lady (Yellen) who said inflation was 'transitory'. And we can believe what she's saying? Sit down and buckle up!

[kelperdude]

It will most likely happen regardless of who is in control because it's already been put into motion over these past two years. Expect the very worst of it if you go blue next month.

[hpdavid]

Americans are fed up with having to pay $300 to $400 more dollars a month than they were a year ago for the same goods. A few years from now is when we will see an improvement???? Too litle too late.

[romantemniuk]

why ask this lady anything?. She said inflation was transitory.

[billyyank]

Corporate profits are accountable for over 50% of current inflation.

[TopDownFinance]

Deficit spending means spending more than you take in, by printing thanks to QE. Inflation is baked into the system at all times.

[lalah]

So sick and tired of the increasing rates when they’re completely ignoring the price gouging and record breaking profits greedy companies and entire industries are raking in at our expense.
