Janet Yellen in the news:

https://apnews.com/article/yellen-treasury-federal-feserve-democracy-a14d6154d292f0f5bee34b29a9976eab

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.

“modern democratic norms”

I suspect these things that she worries Trump will threaten are neither modern nor democratic. Quite the contrary. They’re likely not even norms.

“...because they prefer the former president’s vision of achieving growth by slashing taxes and stripping away regulations.”

So she thinks high taxes and more regulations would help the economy?
