      You have healthcare, it’s just for the profit of the wealthy regardless of the human cost – just like the two wars.

        Sounds like Israel needs some personal finance lessons.

        Step 1) make a budget

        Step 2) cut down on avocado toast

        Step 3) stop buying bullets, bombs and missiles to indescriminately use on civilians

    Everybody knows this, the government can simply create as much new money as it wants to. The real question is, can the American people afford that?

    Listening to Yellen is great for insomnia but not much else. I swear her superpower is to calmly talk in circles until the oxygen gets sucked out of the room.

    We’re selling out the future generations. We’ve already sold your kids futures and your grandkids. Now we’re moving onto their grandkids. We’re just kicking McCann further down the road, saying we’ll pay for it in the future with inflation and taxes for the poor in middle class, and tax cuts for the wealthy.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Janet Yellen has told Sky News the United States can “certainly” afford wars on two fronts, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas threatens stability in the Middle East and the US continues to support Ukraine’s fight against Russia.

    Those elements were key factors behind the energy-driven cost of living crisis that started facing Western economies last year.

    She pointed to a big easing in inflation but appealed for Republicans to fill the void left by the removal from office of House of Representatives speaker Kevin McCarthy, in order for greater financial support to flow.

    Ms Yellen’s remarks followed her visit to the IMF/World Bank conference in Morocco last week when the much-discussed topic was the potential ramifications of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

    When asked if there was more that the US Treasury could do to pressure Iran from not getting involved in the war, Ms Yellen responded: "I know that there are diplomatic conversations that are taking place.
