Janet Yellen

In the aftermath of a leaked Supreme Court draft majority decision prospectively overruling Roe v. Wade, the Left in the United States has gone into full-fledged panic mode. That outsized panic has manifested as a variety of unconvincing or blatantly immoral arguments: the argument that abortion is a necessary adjunct to women's freedom -- as though contraception doesn't exist, and as…

CNN At This Hour guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith onto Tuesday program for a softball interview about how Republicans are terrible, how overturning Roe v. Wade will damage the economy, and not talking about the pro-life group that was firebombed over the weekend.

Inflation is the worst in 40 years. The price of cars is up 37%. Gas is up 49%. During the last few years, as politicians spent ever more money, experts told us not to worry. Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve, said inflation would be “transitory.” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, “I don't anticipate inflation is going to be a problem.” Now she says, “I'm ready to retire the word…

The rich liberal elites of CBS News made it clear that their concerns about inflation didn’t have to do with the painful cost it was inflicting upon average Americans, but that it could cost Democrats the midterm elections in 2022. This fact was evident during Sunday’s Face the Nation when moderator Margaret Brennan pressed Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to get inflation under…

The annual “trick-or-treat” ritual is over. Not so the “tricks” perpetuated by congressional Democrats about their tax-and-spend ritual, and their phony numbers. Consider the latest spending measure cobbled together by the House Democratic leadership, or more accurately their staffs. It is 2,400 pages long, much longer than the longest book I ever read. I doubt most members have read much if…

Last week, Democrats settled on an area of apparent commonality: the desire to eat the rich. According to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, “Senator Wyden and the Senate Finance Committee ... would impose a tax on unrealized gains on liquid assets held by extremely wealthy individuals, billionaires.” While Yellen refused to call this a “wealth tax,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had no such qualms…

With Congress’s debate on the debt ceiling pushed back to December 3, ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos invited Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen onto Sunday’s This Week in order to pressure her into going along with absurd schemes Democrats were cooking up to deal with the national debt. From a trillion-dollar coin to invoking an archaic part of the 14^th Amendment, he…

With Kristin Fisher having left to join the evil empire, Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy soldiered on during Monday’s briefing and found success in repeatedly questioning Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the fallout from Friday’s jobs report and whether increased unemployment benefits are keeping people from wanting to rejoin the labor force.

CNN recently had a rough day when it conceded realities that underscored why President Joe Biden’s stimulus monstrosity was proving to be a disaster for the economy.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America for her first television interview after being sworn in January 26, where she was treated to softballs sympathetic to the far left.

The public-radio show Marketplace has this ongoing love affair with Janet Yellen, Biden's new Treasury Secretary. When she was nominated in November, host Kai Ryssdal gushed she was the "economic EGOT" -- like someone who's won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony -- because she's already been head of the Federal Reserve and the Council of Economic Advisers. But now the gush has gotten…

Critical, that is how CNN Newsroom co-host Poppy Harlow was describing Janet Yellen Tuesday, who President-Elect Joe Biden was planning to nominate for Treasury Secretary. Rather than give information about her qualification, past positions, and how she would steer the ship during the post-COVID economic recovery, the partisan network gushes over her past fights for inequality and her…
