Janet Yellen actually said...

"It is very important that the Federal Reserve... be allowed to make independent policy decisions that are shielded from short-term political pressure."

"we welcome strong growth. The Fed is not trying to stifle growth."

"I think it is quite important that in making fiscal policy and other decisions that the focus be on how can that be improved."

"I completely agree that an independent central bank in a democratic society needs to explain itself to the public and to Congress."
