Outgoing Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is announcing that she's planning to take "extraordinary measures" to save the U.S. economy beginning on January 21 — the day after President-elect Donald Trump will officially begin his second term in office. Politico reported Friday that Yellen made the announcement in a letter to congressional leaders including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). The letter comes as the United States prepares to reach the statutory limit on borrowing, which Yellen wrote last month would happen between January 14 and January 23. She warned in that letter that the Department of the Treasury would need to take "extraordinary measures" in order to avoid a debt default, should Congress fail to raise the debt ceiling before then.

Please Trump, institute emergency measures to cut spending. This includes all payments to sanctuary cities and states for illegal aliens.

What would be the immediate effect of halting all sales of Treasury products? I’m sure that would startle financial institutions, but I haven’t a clue as to what would really happen.
What- are you going to shut that annoying MOUTH of yours you incompetent BOOB? Whatever you do “acting” Treasurer— will be undone by Trump. Total reversal.
You either “recognize” the National Debt obligations of the US or you don’t. If you don’t you should be prosecuted ASAP and removed from office. Period.
What measures? Ms Idiota.
Afraid so...because increases are in many cases automatic.
funny she looks like a nazi that likes to molest little girls
Don’t knee jerk whine about Republicans when the Democrats controlled the US Senate and the White House for the last 4 years
But of course, your sort of “Freeper” has this odd inability to ever hold the Democrats accountable for anything they do
Why is that?
Janet Yellen pouring gasoline over herself and lighting a match. She has to know that she’s a lame duck. Proposing any action that doesn’t meet with the approval of the new President is going to get you fired. Maybe that’s the whole point?
Ugly dwarf woman with a fat gut!
Too much foie gras and mountain oysters.
A true gourmet.
Thank Goodness they are incompetent. if they were competent the USA would no longer exist because they would have reached their objective.
Tell the granny mole to cease and desist; the adults are here now and I pray it’s enough to stave of a depression from the previous idiocy of both sides.
Yep, stop spending, start cut to prevent the future spending.
Yeah, all three of them went to LA to be mayor, fire chief and whatever else that third dyke does. (If that’s not a true story, it oughta be.)
When liberals lose control they want to see the country go down rather than see a Republican making the country stronger.
