Yellen is blaspheming Dem policy. How the heck did she get nominated?
There are two types of dems on this issue. DLC dems like Yellen and Mondale dems like Elizabeth Warren.
The Mondale dems haven't been in power since Mondale. Bill Clinton was DLC. Obama told them he wasn't DLC but has governed as DLC, which infuriates the leftwingers because they think Obama lied to them, which is why Obama has low polling numbers. Hillary and Biden are DLC and the leftwingers pushing Warren to run.
Clinton appointed Yellen to head his office of economic advisors then gave her the job at the San Fran Fed. Obama gave her a job at the central fed and then nominated her for chairman. Since she is a market economist, the GOP confirmed her even tho some may disagree with her as to how wide and high the safety net should be.
Most dems and most GOP are corporatists with leftwing and rightwing groups who aren't.
