For those watching Janet Yellen's speech this evening, the fact that she seemed to struggle towards the end of her speech was a surprise. Now we know why...

**FED'S YELLEN GETTING MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER SPEECH -REUTERS It is hardly surprising given that she now carries the weight of the world's economic and market strength on her shoulders.

As MarketWatch's Greg Robb noted, Yellen faltered at end of her speech. Last page was agonizing. I don't think she felt well but she seemed better when she left the stage.

Bloomberg reports, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is resuming her planned schedule after feeling unwell toward the end of a speech she was giving Thursday at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fed spokeswoman Michelle Smith said in an e-mailed statement.

It must be excruciatingly-painful reading that much nonsense out loud with a straight face.

I am not one to usually be into conspiracies etc but I will throw this out FWIW ... This democrat administration has added so much debt that it cannot afford to have interest rates rise due to the impact on interest. Interest alone would consume much of the budget. Clinton had refinanced a lot of debt to short term. Not sure where that stands right now and how much low interest rates were locked in during Bush & Obama administrations

I would not be surprised if the Fed is under immense pressure to NOT raise rates. Pressure like that can take many forms ..

The Banksters didn’t seem to care that something was wrong with her until she finished.

Prayers up for her.

She does have a lot of pressure on her.

There is now nothing the Fed can do to avoid an economic catastrophe... I’m sure she knows this and is wringing her hands over it.

It may well be that the democrats don’t really want to win the presidency in 2016. Much easier to let a Republican in and sit on the sidelines and attempt to blame him/her for the disaster. Now the question is - can they stave off this looming disaster until a Republican takes office????

I agree. The Fed has lost any remaining control they had.

I don’t know when or how but something has to give. And it won’t be good.

You hit the nail on the head on both points;

The Fed has lost control.

I agree that the Rats don’t want the White House in 2017.

The Fed does not lead in raising rates. It is almost always true that it follows the capital markets., i.e. the bond market, in raising interest rates.

I think she found out from Obammy that the Chinese have come to Washington today to get their money, and she just found out from Ron Paul that there is no gold in Fort Knox.

Only if Ted Cruz, or anyone else for that matter, can wave a magic wand and make it happen.

It’s too far gone. No man alive can fix this.

She knows the truth.

She was almost coughing up body parts. Apparently no one in the audience was slick enough to figure out the woman was having issues.
