Yellen is out at The Fed - Saturday

[unblock]

6. typical of republicans. they still think greenie was a genius but can't find a kind word for yellen

whatever greenie did technically at the fed -- and it was definitely hit or miss -- he lost whatever credibility he had when he testified about what a disaster it would be if the government actually paid off all its debt.

this was a wildly fantastical freakout response to an actual reduction of debt by less than 2%.

that idiotic fantasy promised all manner of disaster and soviet-style government takeover of businesses in the event the government actually never changed policies enough to pay down 100% the debt and then kept raking in money still without changing policies.

it was used as a pretense to pass shrub's disastrous tax cut, which returned us to ballooning deficits.


but that's someone they hail as a hero, while yellen, who did nearly everything almost as perfectly as you could ask for, in unprecedented circumstances, she gets cast aside.

and obama appointee *and* a woman, no less. she never stood a chance in donnie's world.
