AMHERST - Federal Reserve Board Chair Janet Yellen said Thursday that she expects the Fed to raise interest rates later this year and then continue gradual increases thereafter during a University of Massachusetts address that ended with her seeking medical attention.
A spokesman for the university said the 69-year-old was fine after being checked out by EMTs and was to continue her schedule which included a faculty dinner at the home of Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy.
A spokesman for the Federal Reserve Board said, "Chair Yellen felt dehydrated at the end of a long speech under bright lights. As a precaution, she was seen by EMT staff on-site at U-Mass Amherst." He confirmed that she planned to continue with her schedule.
Yellen was delivering the annual Philip Gamble Memorial Lecture at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in the Fine Arts Center Concert Hall.
Yellen appeared to lose her place in her speech and said, "I think I'll stop here." As faculty thanked her EMTs rushed up to her and walked with her into a waiting room where she was checked out.
During her address she said inflation will go from near zero to the Fed's target of 2 percent in a few years.

The article doesn't have any more details about her medical condition, so I excerpted.
Yeah, start making it worse for the next _resident that can be blamed for it. The sheep believe anything.
And BOOOoooo on amherst, the commie hippie cesspool. Nice place physically, but infested with leftist vermon.
Being an incompetent bitch an destroying an economy and futures of retirees is really tough work.
Hillary
Bammie
Etc.
If she would go ahead and raise them, we would get it over with.
Evidently her transformation into human form hasn't come to completion.
That is a perfectly apt description. It is Moonbat City.
One does get dehydrated when spewing bull$shit.
Those rooms that print money day and night are probably very hot.
Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy sounds like a name from a Three Stooges short.
Too much fasting yesterday.
After all the liquidity she’s poured into the system, you’d think she could spare a few drops for herself so that she could make it through a speech.
A Moonbat City in a Moonbat State...
There are some conservative areas. And people (hi). But yes we are outnumbered.
In other words, she’s drinking herself to death over the eventual crash.
Out here in the real world, food, rent, and healthcare have skyrocketed in the last few years. Only a bobblehead not living in the real world would believe inflation was under 2%.
Perfect.
I guess she doesn't buy food OR water....you can watch food prices rise week to week lately...
