WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Sunday the country was still in a “deep hole” with millions of lost jobs but that President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion relief plan could generate enough growth to restore full employment by next year.

Republican senators argued that Biden’s proposal was too expensive and they cited criticism from Larry Summers, a treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, that passage of the measure could run the risk of triggering runaway inflation.

Standard left wing plan. Spend a butt load of money to get a boom, which is always followed by a bust and then stagflation. No thanks.

Well, she did say his ‘plan’; not what he actually DOES.

After all, he began by killing 11,000 jobs - and who knows how many other jobs that benefited from those 11,000 direct jobs in their communities?

Yellen was touted as the smartest person in finance. She proved herself useless and stupid.

Biden said it would take 10 years.

Biden is senile and can’t help but tell the truth.

Yellen’s mind is still solid, so she knows how to lie.

They both know it will be 2031 before Biden’s plan will turn things around.
