Splurging? I have not bought more goods and services than I did a year ago. If anything, I have bought less, and I still spend more than I did a year ago thanks to inflation. Yellen is an idiot.

Yellen should rule out any MENSA affiliation mentioning at her eulogies.

I still spend more than I did a year ago thanks to inflation. Well, see? That's what she calls "splurging". Instead of starving, you continued to buy food you selfish serf, you!

Thank you, Commissar for correcting my eating habits. I will work zealously to eat less and eat more correct foods. I will walk rather than drive. I will cancel all activities outside my immediate location.
Thank you, comrade for correcting my thoughts.

Yellen, drunk on power decides to broaden an attack on Republicans to include all Americans.
The Left's Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target and polarize it." *via Rules for Radicals
The Left's Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism (or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.
The Left's Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for doing what you are doing.
The Left's Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Do not attempt to explain the insults. Think drive-by shooter.
The Left's Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.
Repeat
