She was an awful pick. At least as bad as Timmy Geithner.

I hope the few principled Democrats make a real mess of this nomination (along with others).

Seems that something is amiss in the Senate of late.....Janet may not be in charge of all the money, honey...

FOX News reports:

"The Biden team responded this weekend to criticism of President-elect Joe Biden’s treasury secretary pick Janet Yellen after it was revealed she raked in more than $7 million as a speaker from Wall Street firms and other corporations after leaving the Federal Reserve in 2018.⁣
⁣
"Janet Yellen is among the pre-eminent economic policymakers in the world today. Since leaving the Fed after several decades in public service, she has spoken at economic conferences, universities and to business groups and financial institutions about her experiences ... Her experience and expertise are the reasons President-elect Biden wanted her on his team working for him and on behalf of the American people to help us build back better from this economic crisis," a Biden transition team spokesperson said in a statement"

Why is the gender that she identifies as of any relevance?
