Well duh Capt. Obvious. The inflation is caused by Dementia joe and all the democrats.
She's failing at her job and still gets paid. Fire her….
Yellen says to bring down inflation, the gov't needs to raise taxes and spend more money. She really did say that.
OK! Come on, so it was transitory, tapering off, peaked out, and you couldn't come up with another term now?
It is b/s of you OLD CORRUPT YELLIN!
"By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens." — John Maynard Keynes
This old girl shouldn't be anywhere near our treasury department but in an assisted living facility knitting a neck warmer for senile Biden
Raise interest rates fast! Who cares if we have a recession. Those billionaires trust fund babies will do fine without another bailout.
This is scary. Most every thing points ot Biden. His policies have made oil prices skyrocket and therefore causing everything else to go up in cost. Biden needs to go now.
So Russias war in Ukraine is affecting us!!?? They think we're all just a bunch of idiots. Time to nationalize the Federal reserve Bank and the oil companies!
Why is she still there? A "oops" is not an answer for her response to inflation. I voted for Biden. I won't vote at all if they don't stop worrying about stupid crap and start worrying that many of us are starting to try to figure out which we should feed, our cars or ourselves.
And the media, with its rich anchors have no clue. I watched as they wondered why fashion stores have too much inventory. WHAT!?! We can't eat and you're worried about if Macys has too many useless fashions? It's time for the media to earn their pay, get down in the trenches with us nobodies, and stop with what royal is throwing what temper tantrum. WE DON'T CARE! How about talking about how we're supposed to make ends meet when the paychecks no longer stretch to each other.
No inflation. Call it what it is. Planned inflation…fed inflation …all to aid Ukraine and it's military. Americans foot the bill. Blinded and distracted fed half truths.. I feel like the American people are fed racism as another distraction. The Media ..those that own it and control the propaganda put out rely on us being gullible, their agenda has never changed all these many generations. Keep the people divided. Destroying wheat in Ukraine…then tell people there's gonna be wheat shortages. Give Ukraine Billions on Top of Billions…bring them here…more people in a land claiming shortages where Americans haven't even recovered from alleged covid. No real dire straights in Ukraine..but a change in land…all planned. Trickery…..Politricks for ya. I pray every day to The Most High.
They want us all to eat the bugs and cup o noodles. Yeah why don’t we take back our 40 billion and cut our loses. 40 billion can help us more than some stupid small county.
Rich are fine. Poor are fine. Working class is f'd.
Oh don't worry its just transitory. Yellen should be fired
Biden Harris is a bad joke. Their level of incompetence and hypocrisy, manipulation and plain LIES is absolutely revolting and discisting!
At first, she said that unlimited QE would not cause inflation. Then she said that inflation was only temporary. Now she changed her view again. You got to wonder whether she is just a moron, or she has been lying all these time.
China and Russia are doing a one two punch on America. They are destroying the American economy through war and lockdowns smart moves
Millions of Americans made a disastrous mistake when they voted against President Trump, only because the main stream media told them to do so. Today, millions of Americans are quite literally paying the price.

Inflation good for money maker
Protest outside Oil company CEO homes until the price goes down !
This is not a supply issue, this is supply at higher cost exploitation.
Billions given to Billionaire Musk to allow Billionaire Trump back on Twitter.
American corporations are taking advantage of inflation as a cover to increase their prices and profits.
ceos should not be making any money right now not making the most they ever made. Make that illegal
This women is either incompetent to do her job or criminally culpable for the destruction of the millions at and below the middle class
EVERYBODY is reaping EXACTLY what they sowed. ABSOLUTE ZERO EXCEPTIONS. ABSOLUTE ZERO EMPATHY.
