We’re not certain whom Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was trying to impress when she said that racial equity was the “centerpiece” of the Biden-Harris administration’s economic agenda. Just have we’ve narrowed down the dumbest member of Congress to about four people, Yellen has to be one of the dumbest members of President Biden’s cabinet. This spring, Yellen said that overturning Roe v. Wade would have “very damaging effects on the economy” and whitesplained the importance of abortion to low-income black women to Sen. Tim Scott. She’s also tied inflation to climate change.

We’d love to hear more about exactly how Yellen plans to make the U.S. economy racially equitable.
I think a strong U.S. dollar/ American money should probably be the “first priority” but that’s just me

Why don't they just say they're instituting communism? That's literally what it's about.

This from a former chair of the Federal Reserve who also believes that ending abortion access would be "damaging" to the US economy. Why should racial equity be the centerpiece of the agenda? What the hell kind of Economics are they teaching at Yale?

In other words, they have no plan to get the economy running again, so they are going to try to keep black voters by racial pandering.

So… collapsing the economy to achieve some nebulous, unattainable goal is the way? Yeah, because collapsing the economy isn't the way.

Biden also assembled his cabinet Tuesday so that each secretary could read a statement explaining why abortion was so important to their department.
