Yellen on Poor Views of Economy: People ‘Seem to Feel Good About Their Own Personal Finances’
Breitbart ^ | 10/27/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 10/27/2023 6:19:34 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reacted to negative sentiment on the direction of the American economy by stating that people “have been through a lot with the pandemic and the lockdown for almost two years, then a period of high inflation” and there are structural issues that have existed for a while, but people “do seem to feel good about their own personal finances.”

Yellen said, “I think Americans have been through a lot with the pandemic and the lockdown for almost two years, then a period of high inflation. And, as you say, they do seem to feel good about their own personal finances. Surveys of job satisfaction suggest people feel good about their work, too. We’ve rarely seen higher numbers on job satisfaction. But they seem very worried about the economy and that things are not doing well. The U.S. economy has suffered from structural problems…for a very long time. A significant share of the population, particularly those who haven’t had a college education, have really not seen meaningful growth in their real income and have seen a decline in job opportunities over, really, approaching 50 years. And I think what Americans need to know is that the Biden-Harris administration is really decisively changing that.”

She’s obviously in that 1% of the Nation that feel that way. The rest of us? Not so much. Clueless.

What a stupid old cow!

The Biden-Obama axis could sure pick them. Biden couldn’t even pick his nose. Obama couldn’t miss his.

Hey Janet, try talking to someone outside of Congress about it.

What people say when they realize it could be worse, they could be living in a tent under the freeway.

In the Janet Yelling department...

JAG Convicts Janet Yellen of Treason

Monday, October 16: GITMO

Vice Admiral Darse E. Crandall called Janet Yellen an “urchin,” among other colorful nouns, at a military tribunal that saw the fiendish woman repeatedly debase herself while raising a flurry of self-incriminating objections that helped the prosecution secure a guilty verdict and death sentence.

It worked in 2008 forward...

And it continues to work to this very day.
