Propaganda is what it was…

[@raygunsforronnie847]

@@wildamerican2771 You don't like demonstrable facts, eh?

[@wildamerican2771]

@@raygunsforronnie847 Janet Yellen and facts don’t fit in the same sentence. They’re literally printing money to finance the government each year and now that it’s caught up with them in the form of runaway inflation, they want to lie and scam investors out of billions by signaling a pivot (which will cause more inflation). The people managing America’s economy are an absolute joke.

[@wildamerican2771]

Not to mention, when has it ever been prudent to have a treasury secretary on a late night talk show. It’s like every major institution is working directly for the DNC. I’ve seen communist nations with less grip on their journalists.

[@ericminch]

The nice thing about female dollars is that they give birth! Yes, that's right, if a female signs your dollar bill, it gives birth to a little baby dollar bill, and pretty soon you have more dollars than you know what to do with. That's the difference between female and male bills. And if I'm not right, then your bills will be worth exactly the same as if they were male bills.

[@dee_dee_place]

Secretary Yellen- 1) You need to audit the Treasury to make sure Mnuchin AKA The Foreclosure King didn't pilfer its coffers. 2) Can you recall all the money with Mnuchin's name on it.

[@eliecanetti]

For what it's worth, I know a number of people that worked in both the Mnuchin treasury and the Yellen treasury. One person told me Mnuchin traveled with a massive entourage and constantly demanded special treatment. Yellen, on the other hand, was reluctant to ask her aide to get her a diet coke because she didn't want to impose on the person's time. The best people are almost always the most humble.

[@alanai1981]

AND SHE IS LEAPS AND BOUNDS SMARTER THAN HIM

[@eable_2]

I ran into her after a speaking event on the street outside and thanked her. Can confirm no entourage.

[@SayAhh]

Didn't Mnuchin backdate a stock option at IndyMac or something?

[@jimhall5472]

I’d take the biggest entourage in the history of man over her utter incompetence and dishonesty anytime.

[@kathynj6479]

Well said. So true. You observation made me realize one reason she is a brilliant economist is she has empathy and cares about people which means her education and intellect is enhanced by her ability to identify with people. All three together probably helps her understand and read the economy better than most.

[@treeeva]

I was so sad when this interview ended! She reminds me so much of my late mother. Even if she didn't remind me what a great person my mom was, she's fascinating and I could listen to her for hours. Stephen is such a great interviewer.
