Janet Yellen in the news:
Yellen delivered an address Friday in Arizona, using economic data to paint a picture of how disregard for America’s democratic processes and institutions can cause economic stagnation for decades.
Yellen, taking a rare step toward to the political arena, never mentioned Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, by name in her speech for the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum, but she hinted at the former president’s potential impact if he regains the White House.
Her remarks serve as a sort of warning for business leaders who may overlook Trump’s disregard for modern democratic norms because they prefer the former president’s vision of achieving growth by slashing taxes and stripping away regulations.
“Bernstein graduated with a bachelor’s degree in music from the Manhattan School of Music where he studied double bass with Orin O’Brien.”
“He also earned a Master of Social Work from Hunter College as well as a DSW in social welfare from Columbia University’s school of social work”
“Bernstein’s books include All Together Now: Common Sense for a Fair Economy and Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (And Other Unsolved Economic Mysteries).”

IOW we have a musician and social worker in charge of economic policy.
Oh, and we’re doomed.
It is truly ironic how the pro-”our democracy” crowd doesn’t support the only democracy in the Middle East.

I will state directly and unequivocally that the guy is a blithering idiot and the caricature of a sinecure. The useful idiot has been sucking off the public tit since at least the 80s.
Nothing new. Biden’s judicial picks do not understand the law.
“Everyone I talk to at the country club is doing great. I don’t see why you smelly stupid unwashed idiots don’t see what a great job Biden is doing.”
I met Jared Bernstein at a conference in DC 10+ years ago. The number of incompetent people in the Biden administration is stunning, even by the (low) standards of past Democrat administrations.
