This lady shouldn't be in charge of anything. If this is the best America has to offer we are 100% cooked

[fallonmassey]

*Translation: We simply aren't competitive, so we'll do what we always do... Blame somebody else!*
We don't believe in the free market & we don't care if Americans pay ridiculous prices for inferior cars!
*When we say advocate for American Businesses, we readily admit we're subsidizing & controlling them.*
In short, we can't compete our way out of a paper bag, so we'll claim security as an excuse!

There is a saying, "when China comes to Africa, she builds roads, bridges, hospitals and high rise buildings. When Americana and the west come to Africa, they give lecture on how to rule the countries".

[RichardHarrison-pmrx]

THERE SHOULD BE A LAW RIGHT NOW, THAT WE CAN'T BORROW MONEY FROM ANY ANY ANY COUNTRY

[strechinpick]

Stop the nonsense. Yellen is a freaking joke!

[davidlai]

Below whose cost? China invested in mineral processing, solar and battery supply chain twenty years ago, while US was busy fracking and arguing about climate change.

[josephbuehl]

This man woman is a total disaster, it's going to take America to wake up to get people like this out of the damn White House. Good grief

[DeplorableKulak-vpej]

WHY IS OUR TREASURY LADY OVER THERE TELLING THEM THAT THEY SHOULD STOP SENDING US THESE CHEAP GOODS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INEXPENSIVE😮

[bigjermanprepared]

😂😂😂 the U.S. is sliding into the swamp.

[thinkingaloud]

When the US had excess capacity and China was poor and struggling, did the US slow down for China?

[NiccaGeorge]

"Uhh i cant manage to do my job but i am here lecturing others how to do theirs"

[DeplorableKulak-vpej]

SO OUR POLITICIANS SEND OUR FACTORIES OVER TO CHINA TO MAKE US CHEAP GOODS AND NOW THEY'RE COMPLAINING THAT THEY WANT TO SELL US CHEAP GOODS😅

[sammytanzo]

CHINA IS JUST BEING POLITE....WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT AMERICA THINK...😊

[Bears_Breakdown]

I noticed how she didn’t use the word fentanyl. Instead, she replaced it with opioid. What a coward.

[peggynoeske]

If she gave a sh-t about about America, she would be focused on border security we obviously don't have.

[soniasias]

I remrmber she said, " we have a vaccine evonomy". It was her and her admin that pushed the clot shot. She needs to resign.

[tommyb]

This woman has zero clue what an economy is or how to make a budget. I’m betting she doesn’t even know how to balance her own check book.

[roxannedbarrett]

We dont want the green new deal and or electric var.
She needs to be removed.

[DrHuxley-]

Same "expert" said we wouldn't raise rates and that inflation wouldn't happen

[jmpentek]

She needs to be fired. Don't let that sweet old lady look fool you!
