WSJ

quote:

“I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” Ms. Yellen said in a CNN interview Tuesday evening. “There have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I didn’t, at the time, fully understand.”




She needs to step down immediately after admitting her incompetence.

To be fair, nobody could possibly have seen this coming.

At least she's consistent; she's been wrong about everything

Wrong is not a synonym for lying. There's no way she didn't know what she was doing?

Seriously, has anyone in Biden's admin done anything right worth noting?

Everyone saw this coming. She thought herself too smart to allow common sense to guide her.

My guess is that she will claim she listened to Paul Krugman’s advice.

Krugman’s been dead wrong so often he should actually have said something correct by accident in the past 20+ years.

Except for everyone on the right in 2020 who called out the policies leading to this in real time, but were laughed at for being “conspiracy theorists” and “fearmongers”.

When everyone else was mocking “transitory!!1!”? And everyone else has nailed it thus far?

Is there a single Biden nominee that has been right about anything?

Omg- how did they let her say that?? I mean, we all knew inflation was going to be an issue when Trump started giving us printed money during 2020 …the chicken always comes back to roost

The ole Transitory slip slide. Can you qualify it? Nope. Can you quantify it? Nope. Was it a made up Power-Point slideshow term by Bernanke in Obama's admin? Yep.

Something D-O-O economics. Bueller! Bueller! Voo-Doo Economics.

I made major changes to my money strategy prior to the two Georgia Senate seats flipping. I had plan A where we held the Senate and Plan B where things went the way they did in Georgia. She was dishonest then and is being a total liar now. We are doomed!

Call me crazy, but Krugman is a paid entertainer with an obvious bias. No one appointed him to run the Federal Reserve, so no, I don't think we're going to accept that excuse.

This admin is at best inept, at worst intentional.

While I didn't go to Brown and Yale like ole Janet, I got an MBA from Nicholls and I saw this coming 2 years ago

It’s called price gouging when everyday citizens Jack the price up during a time of serious demand but not when oil companies and others do it!

Gas companies are stilting the climb to slow it and it's based on demand, you ideological turd. Government and war are creating a bottleneck. Biden deliberately killed U S. production and bragged about it. Own your incompetent child sniffer.
