If this is the calibre of persons in charge of the US treasury America is doomed.
It looks like a retirement home in there, these people havent had a fresh idea in 40 years
Not only the US Treasury. This is the DEI of the entire Biden administration. Incompetency is a major benefit for this foolhardy white house.
We ARE doomed. This will require bloodshed, count me in.
It’s like a bad joke ! How the hell is she the most competent person for this job.
Enough with geriatric , cognitively impaired people. Get her out now. Impeach Biden.
I don’t know any executive who would deal with Yellen’s incompetence and annoying voice cadence, it’s unbearable.
I was trying to put my word on it what was irritating about her voice, and you nailed it.
Auctioneer.
“Let me … just say … umm … umm.
@@bodarville2510 auctioneers are masters of linguistics and the English language. She is like Elmer Fudd, if Elmer was a diversity hire
That's why she was given the job. They knew she was useless
Yellen's secret weapon is lulling people to sleep & waste time answering, so that people can't ask her too many questions
she needs to be in prison balancing her bologna and bread budget.
She's beyond belief. Has no clue like Biden what's going on.
My 83 year old mother could answer questions more directly & clearly than Yelon does.
Definitely
She lost me when she said Biden is very prepared. 🤣😂 Preposterous!
🤣🤣😳
@@tnispel7737 Democrats are WORTHLESS.
She lost me when she opened her mouth!
🤮
Prepared? She thought he was talking bout that sweet sweet H..
Preparation H ..😅
It is unacceptable to simply raise the debt ceiling without talking about it. Janet Yellen is not right for our future.
She........or he is 160 years old. I don't think there is enough time left for a future.
Or the present.
@THOMAS Biden either. All those old entrenched dinosaurs in DC are in full on old age related dementia or “don’t give a damn I won’t be around” callousness.
So far, she hasn't been arrested for stealing passengers's luggage at baggage claim at any airports. Isn't that a plus?
@THOMAS She KNOWS our future.
We will never comply with this false narrative. 😡🤨
I'll just call all of my creditors and tell them that no matter what they " absolutely need to raise my credit limits. No discussion." Let's see how far that gets me. What a joke.
or just file bankrupt
You are right. For years the liberal (communists) hve been sounding the alarm that if we don't raise the debt ceiling we will default on all our loans. I have an idea, lets stop taking out loans to pay bills we can't afford causing the taxpayers to have to pay more.
She refers to American’s seniors like she isn’t one of them.
Seriously, is this US treasure secretary?? OMG, no wonder everything is collapsing.
💯 she needs to be in prison
…but she did such a fiiiine job as Fed Chair…👎
And look at the President, vice president, transportation secretary and others. It's all a joke!
@@john-or9cf 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's a fact
By design!
Does anyone else think that Yellen has absolutely no clue of what is going on in the economy?
It’s worse than that, she WANTS this. A lot of them do. It brings them closer to introducing their digital dollar from a government controlled central bank.
140B to ukraine
Or anything else
Quick... another 100 billion to Ukraine! Anyone who doesn't agree with that is a Putin apologist! All hail the Marxist uni-party of Washington!!!
She only knows what she can read from a speech
Get rid of their lifetime paycheck Maybe, if they knew what it is like, to actually earn a paycheck!!!!
I appreciate how Chuck is actually asking questions not just going for a sound bite.
Time to force retirement on politicians at 65 like they expect of the citrizens.
No that would be 67 because we aren't allowed to retire until then. You do know they changed that right?
Totally agree with you, but also they should not be able to access their super till then, just like the rest of us mugs, but you would need both houses to vote to agree with that, which is as probable as you and me winning the lottery 10 times each, in a row.
But they just awarded themselves huge raises💲💰🈶🈹🧧
@@janetbaker7848 That is if you were born 1960 or after. Some of us can retire at 66 & it goes up in stages according to your year of birth until 1960.
@@janetbaker7848 lol what, earliest you can retire is 59
There is nothing that screams confidence or competence about her
FACT BOMB !!!
Perfect fit for this nitwit duly selected administration
Let's go Brandon
@@dashhoundlover2837 Hahaaa 👍😎 TRUMP2024🇱🇷
Nothing whispers confidence either. A politician diversity hire with no logic or sense.
Hopefully this lunatic is transitory
Wow, she sure knows how to agree without agreeing. "Yes, that's what happened but it's not what happened in the way that you say it happened..." It's like the kid with cake all over their face and hands pointing at the dog and saying, "There may be cake all over my face and hands, but you need to look at the dog if you are going to blame someone."
Thank you Forbes for all this information!
SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT A BAIL OUT FOR THIS CROOK GOVERNMENT...
Absolutely it is how we reward those that make it to retirement for their years of paying an unjust tax on everything including their own death. Sisgusting
She’s another reader from notes all ready prepared.
Funny how it takes three to five sentences to answer yes/no questions. They keep piling the bs higher and deeper.
Janet Yellen shouldn't be allowed the responsibility of babysitting, much less handling finances! Anyone that would do anything O-Biden would say to do really needs mental help!
FACT BOMB !!!
She is sending every tax dollar collected to the Treasury to Ukraine .. She also said , it will be as long the war lasts .
Did she get this job on the cabillity of her stupitity.
Agree 💯
Should be obvious to all,
this woman has no idea, totally clueless.
Her monotonous monotone word salad.
God help America.
I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican but the amount of stupidity that the people that handle our so called money is frightening to say the least. I'm getting the notion that insider trading has been happening with the bank executives as well as CEOs. God help all of us and protect us from such stupidity that has been displayed. Miss Yellen needs to work retail or work a manual labor job.
Done on purpose.. These people are all stooges
Needs a nursing home.
This government is out of control.
As a Conservative, I am in agreement with you.
Yellen needs to apply for a Walmart door greeter position!
They never answer the questions and are never held accountable. It is full on shameful. Either make these oversight committees have meaningless or stop having them.
American government is so corrupted now that incompetent people will show up more and more in important positions.
Is she and all these people in government like that all the damn time? Imagine her, at dinner with her grandkids: “Hi grandma, what are we having for dinner!?” And she goes on and on and on and on and on and freaking damn on about everything except just saying if it is hot dogs or pizza or something.
I hate them all.
It’s funny how Janet has so many answers about Joe doing all he can, blah blah blah, and yet Joe runs to the nearest exit when the people ask him questions!
He is a COWARD!
Hey! That's not nice! People like you who would ask Brandon such questions cause him to have a hot log to deal with. That's why he'll shuffle out kind of like Jerry Nadler. I'm sure that our great Resident would be able to answer all questions, openly, honestly,...
🤮
Sorry. I meant all that as a joke, but then I started visualizing and now I'm feeling gross. Thought it'd be funny to proffer absurd humor by making that utter POS out as something good. I won't ever try that again.
Almost sound like her testimony is scripted doesn't it.
Absolutely no one that is not an American Citizen should be getting Medicare or social security. If an illegal person has been here 20 years...they've had 20 years to become a Citizen ❗
We should end both programs all together!
I agree
Exactly
@@dublbude then what? What do you want us retired people to do?
So trillions of dollars for bank bailouts and corporate bailouts .this is o.k.
My 88 year old Mom can not eat or go to the doctor.
Her monochordic voice gives me all the information I need. This woman wouldn't pass humaness , I'm sure.
This woman has a book with standard answers to any question.
WHY SHOULD OUR TAXES HAVE TO BE USED FOR ALL THESE CRIMINAL BAIL OUTS??
Because they fund Democrats and Democrats only care about themselves and their agenda .
She's really good at running out the clock
Filibustering and keeping the false narrative. 🤯
She always looks surprised and confused. Like she asked, "what's for dinner" and you answered "Why doesn't Alex Trebek host Jeopardy anymore?"
All of these people testifying under the Biden regime seem to be exceptionally good at running out the clock, playing the blame game and speaking with no intelligence or common sense.
This woman has no idea, totally clueless.
Her monotonous monotone word salad.
God help America.
Yellen: Like the eyes of a deer staring into the headlights
Those ppl not speaking directly to Senators, and who do not answer Yes or no - go to jail under penalty of law until they can answer directly
People tend to give the sociopaths who run our country slack because they are elderly. They may be old but they are still evil
Aw give her a break....shes 102. 😂
They've had more time to perfect their evil.
Stop voting these clown in, they appoint more idiots. Don’t raise debt ceiling unless there is give and take. Need to stop getting new charge cards for us to pay and stop giving money to other countries. Your broke
Evil and Senile are a very bad mix.
@@loricunningham2295 No kidding! Imagine letting you great-grandmother handle your finances, total insanity!

The taxpayers will
@@icydawn4257 Exactly
They never are. All 2008 taught these shitbirds is “privatize profits, socialize losses.”
Doesn’t matter if they played stupid games and lost, just come crying to the government for a taxpayer funded bailout...

Didn’t the CEO of the bank pull all his assets from the bank days before the closing of the bank? 🤷♀️curious
YES, that’s true. 🤦♀🤬
And they all got a bonus
YES
I hadn’t heard that,but it sounds like that would be considered standard practice. Greedy, but standard. Underhanded, but standard. Evil, but standard.
Yeah he sold $3.2m in stock two weeks before the bank collapsed.
Thank YOU Chuck G
The man setting behind Yellen looks much smarter and know the answers😂
Cut unnecessary spending not raise taxes
Cut ALL spending....period!! Balanced budget now!!!
We could begin by firing the entire current residents of the executive branch!
Yellen thinks as fast as she speaks
😂😂😂😂
SLOW SO SHE CAN SHE A** OFF !!!!
I don’t think she thinks at all, she just regurgitates what someone tells her to say
This woman has no idea, totally clueless.
Her monotonous monotone word salad.
God help America.
Yeah, I'm sure that China Joe is open to negotiations about the debt ceiling. Seeing how he no problems walking away from reporters, I feel confident that he understands complicated economic and mathematical thorny issues. Definitely a man of deep philosophical thought and understanding.
Wy the hell would they raise the debt ceiling??? If an individual did that with their own personal finances, they'd never be able, financially, to crawl out of that hole.
The reason your time ran out Sen. Grassley is because you let Yellen drone on with non essential talking that had nothing to do with answering your question. It's a strategy to take time away from you asking more questions.
She is indeed quite the fan of filibusters. Might be why they gave her that position
Very observant !
Grassley is a big time Free Mason, controlled opposition, the worst kind of enemy within.
Um um um fart um um um shit um um um
Grandma needs to go. ..... to jail
Tax the plebes into oblivion. Now that’s a unique fiscal strategy.
I would rather have a discussion with a empty pizza box about finances !
THE DEBT CEILING DOES NOT NEED TO BE INCREASED. IT MUST BE LOWERED ASAP. THE PRESIDENT IS NOT REALISTIC IN HIS EXPECTATIONS.
He is living in a deluded reality.

God help America.
Christian Broadcasting Network /Gordon Robertson raised the same question yesterday.
I think most Americans who have critical thinking and reasoning skills know the answer to that question. Please read my lengthy reply above to give you a sense of what I am thinking. Great question on your part! And to think Yellen also previously was the Chairwoman of the Federal Reserve! OMG, we're doomed ... and we are ALL in the doom loop. Fight on!
they want you'er money back.
@@ltjtrucking7757 I fear the US is getting set up and they're milking every penny they can get before TSHTF. I sure hope not.
There is no violation of the tax treaties that we already have in place with other countries
If they don’t answer… hold them for contempt or something! Stop allowing it
The biggest failure by the FDIC is to not have already auctioned off SVB and its asset, typically this happens within 24 hours of taking over a bank.
👍
POLOSI & SCHUMER...
Svb didn't like the buyers so fail the bank??
Those banks spent too much money an bribing the democrats with other peoples money, that's why they went belly up.
They didnt auction because they know no one would buy it. The UK arm of SVB was auctioned off for £1. Never let a crisis go to waste. They need a way to control the narrative and auctioning it off wasn't in their playbook.
My God, can she ever give a direct answer? I’m tired of these idiots constantly dancing around the questions. It’s clear they don’t want to negotiate anything if it conflicts their interests.
Never....none of them do
They dance around the question.
Agree. Sometimes a simple “yes”or “no” would suffice allowing more questions to be addressed. 🤦♀️
Dancing around a question is what they teach in business schools.
They raised their salaries twice during pandemic and they worry about spending????
I swear this lady has chased a lot of parked cars. And caught most of them..
Yellen is the government equivalent of the Walmart employee clocking in and going home to collect a check
Just another German implanted after WWII
Congress controls the purse and writes the law. It starts there.
Nope. The Walmart employee knows he is stealing his paycheck. She actually believes she is doing her job even though she isn't. One is a thief, and one is incompetent.
@@wmason1961 don’t believe that. I think she knows she’s hurting the country and I think she wants to. There seems to be a group of government officials that have been trying for decades to rob the country blind and make it increasingly more vulnerable to outside dangers. I think the goal is the collapse of the USA and they’re trying to make as much money as they can before it does. She’s one of them. That’s why she had her nose up in Ukraine back in 2014
Somebody go get Granny, she's out telling lies again...
How about cutting government employee wages in half instead.
Arrest them all and investigate their corruption.
So , Yellen says that the president told her about economics , "HOW" . The president can't even have a simple conversation. That makes her a damn LIER !!!!!!!
His inability to hold a normal conversation is why he will not take a meeting to talk about any of this.
@@wmason1961 His press conference about FDIC insurance the other day though...
How do people watch that and not see a geriatric man unable to hold a conversation?
He just walked out like they wern't saying anything at all...
Everyday he looks more and more like Walter, Jeff Dunham's puppet.
Look at the back of his head from the side.

He got her on the treaty question? He shined light on her incompetence
NO COUNTRY CAN SURVIVE with the majority of the country's People in Poverty!!
How can yelling go to Ukraine? Offer them 10 billion to prop up their government and then ensure all deposits even ones over 250,000 to bail out a bank without congressional approval
It`s almost as if she emptied out the US Banks to give to the NWO Soros`s Zelensky; and then got the taxpayers to foot the bill by propping up the banks she robbed for the Soros-Chimp to fight Russia using mostly straight white (Ukrainian) males as cannon fodder. (((They))) (the NWO) are trying eventually to thin out ALL the (white) herd of males yet again (which they did in part across the Middle East these past few decades [since Kissinger got to JFK]).
Why are we paying Ukrainians officials pensions when we have a trillions shortfall here.
Yellen and her family needs to have financials investigated
And her barber
DOES SHE GET 10 PERCENT TOO??
I’m sick of all of this. The goons in Congress will never fix this sh**.
YOU tell him Janet !
To threaten to create economic catastrophe is unacceptable
I haven’t seen a single “Transparent “ Dem answer any question brought before them..
I wish they all were send to jail.
Me too, however, we only have a slight majority in congress. People need to pull their head out, and stop re electing bad politicians, cause they’re taking us down fast!..
So Yellen won't confirm what the senator said about why SVB failed, but she describes their problems as typical reasons why any bank fails. She must be taking word salad lessons from our lovely vice president.
im looking at the words THE HONORABLE above her name lolololololol what a joke
Get one thing straight, Biden did not come up with a single idea. These budgets need to be open to the public prior to approval. I guarantee their is a lot of spending that is not necessary! Special interest groups more overseas spending for nonsense.
Yep.
Those special interests are called earmarks. Earmarks should never be in a budget unless they directly benefit the citizens of the United States
Absolutely spot on!!!!!!!!!!!!
Imagine her and creepy Joe having a sensible conversation, bet they both fall asleep in a few seconds!!😔😔😂😂
In joes basement while Jill is out with other guys.
And the smell from their diapers!
Yellen's Right! Tells he's prepared! They knew about the failure looming for a full year! 😂😂😂😂 Mouthpiece only!😂😂😂😂
CORRECTION: The Debt Ceiling MUST NOT be Raised.
Yellin's incompetence is so very glaring as it was in previous admins and it is so more now.
How is this woman still in an official position of any kind? It’s mind blowing. We need to get rid of all of these old WarPigs
SVB had a lot of China investment involved and America needs a real qualified Treasury Sec.
She is like the grandma you wouldn't trust to hold your newborn child.
I get furious when I hear the politicians talk about social security as a government benefit they need to admit and acknowledge it is the working people of this country monies and they have mismanaged our money they should all be held accountable!!!!!!
Every time a Biden appointee testified ---- I lose more confident in their ability to any job, let alone their job!
I wouldn't trust our government to run a dollar store.... Raising the debt ceiling at the same time as raising spending AGAIN is unacceptable period. Take away Zelenskys blank check for starters, well over a hundred billion dollars already and we're being told somehow they're running out of weapons and ammo, it's absolutely ridiculous.
I agree with you!
They have the request for additional funds ready before the last check cleared the bank
God, that is a funny thought !
You know, Focus Factor is still available!
Does anyone think that there are people in our government that are to old to govern?
This is why the government shouldn’t be so big with so many departments. Everyone blames everyone except themselves.
I wish Grassley would turn 35 on his next birthday…..
