The Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, spoke Monday about the United States’ ability to continue supporting the war in Ukraine and Israel.
Her response was, “I think the answer is absolutely.”
Ridiculous.

How many billions of dollars must we continue funneling into foreign nations before it is enough?
Fox Business has more on the story:
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Monday the U.S. can afford to support both Ukraine and Israel in their respective war efforts without hindering the nation’s economy.
Asked during an interview on Sky News whether the U.S. can afford to provide military aid to Israel and to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia given the current debt-to-GDP ratio of 122%, Yellen said, “I think the answer is absolutely.”
ADVERTISEMENTShe continued: “America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel’s military needs, and we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. The American economy is doing extremely well.”
X has since exploded since this came to light.
And rightfully so.

CNBC has more on the story:
Asked in an interview with Britain’s Sky News on Monday whether the U.S. could afford to be providing military support to Israel and to Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia, Yellen said “the answer is absolutely.”
“America can certainly afford to stand with Israel and to support Israel’s military needs and we also can and must support Ukraine in its struggle against Russia,” Yellen said, adding that the U.S. economy is doing “extremely well.”
“Inflation has been high and it’s been a concern to households, it’s come down considerably. At the same time, we have about the strongest labor market we’ve seen in 50 years with 3.8% unemployment. And at the same time, America, the Biden administration, has passed legislation that is strengthening our economy in years to come for the medium term.”

Yellen vomits propaganda.
Anyone with half a brain cell can see that the economy is FAILING.
Biden and his administration have done nothing but destroy all of President Trump’s progress on our economy.
The American people are waking up to it, and the 2024 election will certainly paint a clear picture.
