Lack of communication... severely obstructs our ability to conduct oversight over critical pandemic relief programs such as PPP.
Janet Yellen
The Public Record
Janet Louise Yellen is an American economist currently serving as the 78th United States Secretary of the Treasury, a position she has held since January 26, 2021. She is a member of the Democratic Party and has a distinguished career in economic policy and public service. Yellen previously served as the Chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018, becoming the first woman to hold that role. During her tenure at the Federal Reserve, she focused on issues such as unemployment and inflation, advocating for policies aimed at economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis.
Secretary Yellen has testified a grand total of zero times before this Committee.
I would be amazed if the NBER would declare this period to be a recession, even if it happens to have two quarters of negative growth.
A recession is a broad-based contraction that affects many sectors of the economy. We just don't have that.
Clearly, inflation is unacceptably high, it`s President Biden`s top priority to bring it down.
I absolutely agree with the comments you made about [Free File]. It hasn't worked. We need to develop a new system.

Janet Yellen, who earlier tonight told Wolf Blitzer that she was wrong to call it transitory when she said that inflation had posed only a small risk.
Absolutely. We can thank the American Rescue Plan for the strong labor market we have now and the strong financial position of most households.
I think this is something that we would be-- working on, on a bipartisan basis to discuss alternatives and evaluate them as something that I think would be very worthwhile.
I believe that eliminating the right of women to make decisions about when and whether to have children would have very damaging effects on the economy and would set women back decades. Roe v. Wade and access to reproductive health care…
I think often, Chinese lending can be predatory and result in unsustainable debt and influence on countries.
President Biden has made it clear, and I certainly agree with him, that it cannot be business as usual for Russia in any of the financial institutions.
We have put sanctions in place on China with respect to forced labor and Xinjiang and provocations with Hong Kong.
Clearly, the Administration and the Treasury Department are opposed to any unilateral change in the status quo with respect to Taiwan.
I certainly learned a lot from the IEA report and have no basis to question their judgment.
We would agree with the CBO analysis that led to a score of a $367 billion deficit over 10 years.
Our economic recovery is on track. We are averaging half-a-million new jobs per month since January.
