Report: Janet Yellen to Remain Treasury Head at Biden’s Request as Fight over Debt Ceiling Nears

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is to remain as head of the department, which she reportedly agreed to do at the request of President Joe Biden, according to a report from Bloomberg.

White House officials familiar with the details told Bloomberg that Biden asked for her to stay in the role in mid-December, according to one official, as the president is preparing to have turnovers throughout his Cabinet.

This comes as questions arose about how long Yellen would stay in the Biden administration and a potential fight is brewing in the Republican-controlled U.S. House over the looming debt ceiling and the threat of a possible recession, Bloomberg noted. Ultimately, Yellen staying means she will be in the administration when there likely will be a fight over the debt ceiling.

I’m sick about hearing about the debt limit. It doesn’t even happen until July.

Is there not one competent official in the Biden clown show? Yellen couldn’t run a lemonade stand. Buttwhatever would be befuddled by a tic-tac-toe game, the press secretary is a laughable clown lady, and so on.

If people (broadly) cared about the debt/debt limits, our nation wouldn’t be where it is right now. It’s not even remotely an issue for the majority of Americans despite what any given poll might say. All you have to do is tell someone that controlling the debt means that they get less from a tax break, entitlement, or government service and their tune immediately changes. Further proof that as you democratize your society, your fiscal and monetary policy inexorably loosen.

Janet Yellen should be wearing a big floppy hat and spending her retirement years tending to her flower garden.

Brandon must be having a hard time trying to find another freak to fill the position. That’s hard to believe with all of the bottom feeding, low life illegal aliens coming into the country every day.

“ I’m sick about hearing about the debt limit. It doesn’t even happen until July.”

First of all, it is likely earlier than that with the drunken sailors in DC.

Second, it is one of the only levers of power our Republican House has. They’d best make the most of it.

What debt ceiling? Biden blows through debt the way Derrick Henry blows through the Houston Texans.
