Janet Yellen actually said...

"I would plead with Congress simply to protect the full faith and credit of the United States by acting to raise or suspend the debt limit as soon as possible."

"Thanks to this Congress--and its passage of the American Rescue Plan--I believe we are well on our way toward that goal."

"This is about paying the bills that are already due and owing."

"I believe it would precipitate a financial crisis. It would threaten the jobs and savings of Americans."
