In an exclusive interview, Janet Yellen urges Republicans to appoint a new House of Representatives speaker to enable greater financial support to be agreed for both Israel and Ukraine.
We can afford just about all of it, but the ruling class will fight that tooth and nail, because it would strengthen our power as the working class and weaken theirs. Second Thought: Why The Government Has Infinite Money
We supported social mobility during the New Deal era. Many of the New Deal programs continued to pay dividends until they were dismantled by Reagan and the neoliberals.
As for home ownership, the vast majority of new homeowners in the past 3 generations were significantly subsidized by the federal government.
I'm not suggesting these programs were perfect. Take the most glaring example: most of them explicitly excluded black people. Without opportunity for homeownership, our precious black neighbors were ghettoized and locked into poverty. The echoes of this racist policy reverberate loudly to this day.
So I guess what I'm saying is that we need to Make America Great Again. Obviously the charlatan Trump presents no solutions. The neolib and neocon policies are proven failures. The solutions offered by Republican and Democrat parties are cynical and shallow. We need to go back to the policies that make America flourish - New Deal policies - just with a few modern upgrades and significantly less bigotry.
Seems like ethnic cleansing allows you to have a clean slate and hiring literal nazis to do science for you gives you claim for all technological advancements for yourself.
Yes yes, we colonized America and genocided the natives. No one is arguing otherwise.
And most of our advances in rocketry came from Operation Paperclip. From ICBMs to the moon landing, we have Nazi scientists to thank.
But what about computers? The postwar generations used their wealth to fund pure science (something we deeply neglect today). It was very costly and took decades, but we invented microtransistors, the internet, wifi, GPS, etc. Every major technology that powers the computer you are using now was funded by hardworking Americans tax dollars.
And I'm not sure what Israel has to do with this, but yes they are following the "war on terror" model that America pioneered. Bomb civilians, label all the victims as terrorists, turn a blind eye to the consequences, and act surprised when your victims desire revenge.
I really love the comparison of the "space race" firsts. As someone indoctrinated in the US school system I was brainwashed into believing we did everything first, but to find out all we did first was land a person on the moon and then claim total victory is very American of us to do... It's laughable. Russia did basically everything space related first.
Fucksayke America can you please just not with another war. I'm sorry if this is offensive but you have some fucking bloodthirsty warmonger cunts in your country. No doubt financed by the military industrial complex.
Listening to Yellen is great for insomnia but not much else. I swear her superpower is to calmly talk in circles until the oxygen gets sucked out of the room.
We’re selling out the future generations. We’ve already sold your kids futures and your grandkids. Now we’re moving onto their grandkids. We’re just kicking McCann further down the road, saying we’ll pay for it in the future with inflation and taxes for the poor in middle class, and tax cuts for the wealthy.
Who can keep track of all the beards for the New American Century anymore? Madeleine Albright, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Victoria Nuland, Samantha Power, Susan Rice.
Janet Yellen has told Sky News the United States can "certainly" afford wars on two fronts, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas threatens stability in the Middle East and the US continues to support Ukraine's fight against Russia.
Those elements were key factors behind the energy-driven cost of living crisis that started facing Western economies last year.
She pointed to a big easing in inflation but appealed for Republicans to fill the void left by the removal from office of House of Representatives speaker Kevin McCarthy, in order for greater financial support to flow.
Ms Yellen's remarks followed her visit to the IMF/World Bank conference in Morocco last week when the much-discussed topic was the potential ramifications of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

When asked if there was more that the US Treasury could do to pressure Iran from not getting involved in the war, Ms Yellen responded: "I know that there are diplomatic conversations that are taking place.
