wrong wrong wrong. She has been resisting call for more fiscal help for two years. and has been singnalling the end of the economy needing monetary support for a year +. Take out your partisan bias. yellen is a top notch economist. Even people who are aggressive on stimulus like Krugman are still in support of long term fiscal prudence. They are just not as wedded to it as balanced-budget hypocrites and certainly not when the economy (esp labor market) is weak. Right now, the economy is growing, labor market is all but nearly recovered, it is indeed the right time to start talking about putting long-term fiscal concerns in a sustainable trajectory. That rumbling has been going for a year plus now if you actually paid attention.
You better believe that if the economy goes south tomorrow (inflation bottoms, and unemployment starts rising sharply) regardless of who is in power, I am pretty sure Yellen will be all for fiscal and monetary supports, "deficits be damned"
and you still haven't explained how Yellen is responsible for national debt.
