Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the crew at CNBC this week that President Trump’s goal of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. was a “pipe dream.”
It was an odd remark, given how her former boss, Joe Biden, ran for president on the prospect that he could revive manufacturing in the U.S. — the central pillar of his promise to rebuild the economy “from the bottom up and middle out.”

She is just trying to sabotage what is good for America.
Part of the ‘wealth of a job’ is the money - a larger part is belonging, dignity and being competitive to have a wife and family. Right now the ‘elites’ only want the perks - the parts that matter - for themselves. Just ask that idiot CNN’s Smerconish. Ask how many 26 year old male hunks work at CNN compared to 26 women hotties... and who benefits for the eye candy.

Maybe Mark Cuban can be honest when invited back.
Recall when Obama sarcastically dismissed Trump’s campaign promise to bring back American jobs saying, What’s he going to do wave a magic wand? Tariffs may be that magic wand.
ps
Old Yellen was grossly overrated. She’s a DEI dope.
Right next to Liz Peek and The Hill.
Janet Yellen is who said abortion is good for economic growth.
No reason to ever listen to a word she says again.
Manufacturing coming back to the US is a great plan. But people need to realize that the 2025 factory is VERY different than the ones that moved out in the late 1990s.
Where a factory would employ 1,500 people in the past, there is likely 300 there now. Automation and robotics have replaced people-that are inefficient, inaccurate, and prone to take holidays off.
I would prefer US based jobs and goods. But let’s not kid ourselves. The main jobs would be hauling in raw materials, hauling out finished goods, and repairing the robotic machines. The first two are not “high paying” and the last one will require some higher skills.
Maybe so, but this time she got it right about Janet Yellen...
I really despise this yenta. She has been trotted out from one Rat administration to another as if she was accomplished. For her, Democrats first America as a whole last. Spit.
Every time I’ve seen her, she has come across as incompetent.
She looks like Jimmy Kimmel in a wig.🤡
This broad has to go.
How that Muppet got has far as she did is one of the mysteries of the universe. Outside of being a political hack, has she been right about anything?
Yellen’s intelligence is transitory.
As foty foe said ‘new normal’
All that is screwed up by democrat and then alludes the democrat fudge gets filed under the eat your peas category and subsequently dismissed.
Future work to correct the f’ups is then ridiculed.
I despise woke news.
