During today’s Senate Finance Committee hearing, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) questioned Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen about Social Security and the immediate cuts that take place in nine years if the current plan goes bankrupt. The confrontation was professional, but also very focused. WATCH:

Isn’t lying to Congress a crime?
I guess anyone can now.
They all worship the father of lies.
Yellen protects Biden with her lies.
Isn’t lying to Congress a crime?
Only if a republican does it.
really only if a non-Uniparty member does it. If you’re part of the club… NP
And the proven uni-party RINO calls a uni-party DemocRAT a liar….How interesting….This STILL doesn’t make me even come close to thinking anything positive about the FREAKING RINO.
If a liar calls a liar a liar, does it make it a…..ah! Never mind….I’m confusing myself!
Libs “lack candor” which is completely different.
Not for a leftist.
Quote from Bernadette Devlin
“If we break the law, we go to prison. If the government breaks the law – they change the law”
Ha,ha, how silly! Crimes are now based on party affiliation.
Not if you’re a Democrat?
She’s a duck-billed platitude.
Personally, I get my baloney from Oscar Meyer because they’re experts.
She is quite astoundingly negatively-intelligent. I have never seen such a gathering of incompetents in one place other than the Bidet admin.
Astounding! Please tell me that old senile great grannie does NOT hold a serious position in government/commerce.
She not only holds a serious position, she has returned to the job from her previous tenure under Obama, I think. Which ever, she is an idiot of real concern.
but they do have the ability to memorize a script and parrot it back. They are just actors on a stage. They have no thoughts of their own or moral courage to speak truth.
Parroting the Susan Rice “Book of Lies”.
This makes them predictable.
Their advantage is that most of us perceive that we are reliant on the system they control while the opposite is true. They are reliant on us to have a system they can control.
Not a good or bad thing, just like a joke with a really obscure punchline. Like when you are on the way home and run over a pothole two hours after leaving the Comedy Club while getting roadie and the joke lands right on the impact and gives new meaning to too deep throat.
And it’s Yellen.
Every expression on her face is that leftist shade of a deer in the headlights. I supposed she is thinking “If they charge me with treason, Ill hang.:
She pretends they’re not doing what they’re doing
It’s not incompetence. It’s evil. Big difference. They’re extremely competent at chaos, lies, murder and propaganda. Also they excel at scheming their way into greater and greater fascist control. These are not stupid people, and assuming what we’re witnessing is mere incompetence gives them cover to hide behind their real agenda.
A relic, a fossil. Not equipped for today’s realities. I’m not either, at least I know it. Why does this old woman want anything to do with any of this? Plus, she’s always been an idiot!!! She’s always fuqing wrong!
She was the only one who fit the bill from central casting
But, their bank accounts tell the true story. Rich beyond belief and yet, dishonest longer than the day is long! So, it pays to be dishonest.
Gosh, it gets harder everyday to see this country disappearing before our very eyes and since the destruction is so deep and wide, it’s hard for the average Joe to understand or comprehend.
What the fools in D.C. don’t understand is that once we reach that goal of total Marxism or Communism, not everyone will survive. The guillotine awaits those that are deemed to have outlived their usefulness. They will die with the rest of us.
Janet Yelled should be in a rest home, along with her boss. Cotton mouthed pumpkin headed dolt.
They had to have worked really hard, to scrape the bottom of the barrel, so consistently getting absolutely the WORST people, for every position from POTUS, VPOTUS, and Cabinet members, ..
There is not ONE with the sense to poor piss out of a boot, with the instructions written on the heel.
Not one, that is competent enough to baby sit a house plant, for a few days,..
Not ONE!
I do believe that was the goal.
“They” can’t afford to have real people who speak the truth or have thoughts of their own, these must be robots to spew the same tired old baloney. The administration is not filled with real people.
That sounds like the private from the 2nd Maine in Gettysburg!

BUBBLE BRAIN BIDEN BBB
The cotton mouth comes from the amphetamines. I know from unfortunate first hand experience.
So painful to see what is running our gummint.
Are these not the same people who accused the Republicans of wanting to cut Social Security?
I saw the fear in her eyes! What a Weeble!
If we were back in the halcyon days of analog, there would have been a yellow pages handy for Ms. Yellen to sit on to raise her stature.
Or three or four volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica.
This nitwit belongs in a retirement home.
she’s not stupid… she’s a liar for ‘the cause’…. ends justifies the means, and all that
I disagree. She is not very intelligent. In every situation over the years when she is interviewed or questioned, she is not able to quickly and intelligently answer the question. Whether it is from age, dementia or declining mental acuity, it does not matter. At this point, she is not intelligent and should not be in charge of anything.
Are the people who testify to protect this corrupt administration brain dead, or do they practice their “lines” in order to only say what their puppet masters want them to say?
This woman thinks that Congress and the public are stupid! And maybe we are since we allow them to continue abusing us. They extort our money from us, and blow it on stupid stuff and we just bitch about it instead of burning it all down and constructing gallows for the crooks in DC.
At this point, armed revolution is the only way left to change this government. I do not see that happening. Voting is meaningless.
IMHO …and I will preface my comments with, “if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck…”
Joe Biden has shown that he is not mentally fit for appearances, speeches, decisions, and rational conversations, which has led me to believe that he is not in charge.
Janet Yellen, KJP, Merrick Garland, etc.etc.etc., have been installed by whomever has shadowed J.B. since his “inauguration” day. By design.
I don’t need proof to tell me that all these folks are not just plain incompetent. Each and every one has their marching orders and is held to account with a threat, blackmail, or a promise. In many, many ways I am naive, but there is no way anyone who has seen, read, or heard enough to connect all those dots, cannot come to that conclusion. My biggest mental dilemma has always been and always will be, the sheer volume of evil behind it.
I think what drives some of these emotions are that most of us, even after all we’ve seen, still harbor a deep deep down feeling that these people may have our best interests at heart. Obviously they do not and they really don’t care if we even know it. Does anyone think that Biden, Harris, Yellen, O’Bama, etc. etc. etc…really care about people on Soc Sec? They only care about Soc Sec if they can use it as a wedge issue, that’s it. To me, that’s the evil behind it…cunning masking of the truth.
Yellen is yelling lies
you cannot face someone and tell them what they are saying is a LIE? we are doomed.
What happened to “you cannot lie to Congress?” That’s been changed to “you cannot point out a lie from someone lying to Congress.”
Yep, as long as “someone” is defined as “a Democrat.”
she is just ONE of the many poster children of this administration who illustrates why it is important NOT TO BE COLLEGIAL in the Senate when voting on nominees for cabinet positions
Another RINO for his 5 minutes of fame. They are bailing out the crypto frauds.
Yes. If Cassidy really cared about this, he would support the only man in Sewer City who was doing something about it by growing the Main Street Economy–Actual President Trump.
Poseur.
I would love to see her or Obisen trade with an actual REAL person that’s on SS for TWO MONTHS and see how they can live with the cost of EVERYTHING rising. Like those shows that trade wives for a week. Let us see how that works for them on LIVE TV. This administration has no clue what Seniors are going through!!!
Once any elected official (and every bureaucrat) crosses the Potomac into the District of Corruption, they are subsumed by the pervasive influence of the seven deady sins.
All the blame is on Jay Powell, Janet Yellen and the Biden Admin, and the RINO Senators that confirmed these libturds. They should be looking at themselves in the mirror, and look at the causes of all this ESG/DEI nonsense. These damn RINOs are going along with all this nonsense. Cassidy is nothing but a bloviating blowhard throwing his tantrum act in front of the cameras.
How did Captain Kangaroo become the Treasury Secretary?
The Republican RINOs confirmed her to that position .
I remember him!
“the president is committed” blah blah blah……. I guess telling the truth has become a lost art.
Always remember, on the government farm, some animals are more equal than others…..
Take them to task in more than the exposure of the continued lying! She is the perfect person for the Biden Regime. Charge her with Seditious Treason, as she knows all that goes tbrough the mind of the puppet masters, as all have the same focused marching orders..
What do they care, when it has been proven there are gravy train offshores, as the reward for following the Cabal Plan. And then the accusations from the ‘committee leader’ shows they have no plans for doing anything but defending the ongoing lies. Another definition request would be to define ‘the President is committed to Social Security’, in what way!!
These folks are not and won’t be on Social Security
I think that most people who are on S.S. are already slid into poverty–thank you big government.
People are financially impoverished if they are solely dependent upon SSA as their only means of financial income / support. I am not certain of the statistics but I would hope that the majority of people (>50%) are not solely dependent on SSA when they stop working. This report appears to confirm that:
“Citing Social Security Administration data, CNBC reported this week that about 12 percent of men and 15 percent of women “rely on their monthly Social Security check for nearly all of their income,” with “nearly all” defined as 90 percent or more.”
Ref. https://nationalinterest.org/blog/politics/how-many-americans-rely-social-security-their-entire-income-200633
SSA is still verifiably insufficient income to afford independent living in any but the most primitive and/or squalid conditions. Now if two or more “SSA-only” people combine their benefit$ to live jointly in a single domicile, they increase the available dollars for expenses other than housing and utilities.
But we have known for decades that SSA was never going to be enough to live on without other sources of income or cost sharing after retirement or permanent disability. People had and have time to save and plan for retirement income if they start early enough in their working careers.
It’s the same old tale of the Ant and the Grasshopper.
I no longer believe any data coming from a government agency (SSA) nor from any Mainstream media fake news outlet (CNBC).
“People had and have time to save and plan for retirement income if they start early enough in their working careers.”
This is true. However, people in the lowest income brackets run out of money before the next paycheck. How do they put away money for retirement?
People right now are living on credit cards in order to meet their bills. Saving for “the golden years” is the last worry on their minds.
I should think that Globalist/Democrat-biased media like CNBC and the government would want to inflate the number of people living only on SSA – since the Establishment are the ones who want to promote even larger government and more socialism… So I tend to believe these numbers, and even if they are are inflated, they are far from a majority.
Also, I get it. I don’t have the answer (nor does anyone) for every person’s situation. Yes, some people are struggling. People on the low end of the economic scale have **always** struggled.
Lacking guidance and advice from wise parents (many simply lack wise parents), young people often make bad decisions – like using credit cards with 18% to 25% interest or worse – and wind up drowning in debt and struggling to survive day to day. But a surprising number of people who DO earn decent income are spending every dime and still not saving anything.
Try putting “percent of Amercans with no savings” into Duck Duck Go search bar. Results are interesting. I cannot conclude anything from the wide variety of results other than the stats must be being manipulated for political purposes.
While true, many 1940’s babes were told/sold, “Don’t worry, Social Security will be there for you, it’s your money, and at retirement age we will give it back to you, there will be no hunger or shelter problem for you, and no pauper’s grave.” They were sold a book of lies.
Even a baby who has been abused by its mother, will cry for its mother.
Our senior citizens have been psychologically terrorized for too long. 🤬🤬🤬
I am from that era but was never told that SSA would be there for me ate 65 and to depend upon it. I was fortunate to get good advice even though my father was in a lower income bracket (mom stayed at home). I learned to bust my butt and eventually get to a financial position where I could not only take care of my immediate family but occasionally help others as well. We called it “paying it forward” long before the phrase became popular.
It’s like on an airplane – the flight attendants always tell everyone to get your own oxygen mask on before trying to help your children or anyone else get theirs on.
Yellen lied.
Yellen is an idiot.
Can’t believe she was Fed Chairman.
24% cut to Social Security, creates what? More pure government dependents, the Democrat Dream.
a well paid liar. Lying is fine if you are dem puppet and are compelled to do it. Then it’s called “testimony”.
It’s abundantly clear that door knobs have a greater grasp of economics than this woman. She is good at ONE thing and ONLY ONE thing that I can discern and that is lying! IMHO, her total existence accounts for nothing more than a life support system for her sphincter muscle. She causes rage in me!!
When will anybody, ANYBODY, simply call out every political non-response for what it is. Meaningless word salad political speak is so insulting to the intelligence of anyone listening. These people need to start being held accountable through formal ridicule (seriously) and ultimately removal from office if they cannot even give an honest answer. People can disagree, but this whole speaking out of both sides of your mouth thing has gone too far and reflects the lack of qualified leadership within our entire system.
Threaten to take her salad bowl away. She will never be able to get a haircut again.
Yellen continues to cling to her lies about Biden being willing to come up with a plan to save Social Security from mandatory %24 cuts to monthly payments in 9 years after Senator Cassidy exposes his contradictory behavior. It is outrageous and disgusting. It is even more outrageous that the chair of the committee, a member of the Democrat Crime Syndicate, calls out the Senator as “crossing the line”by accusing Yellen of lying IE: “How dare you expose our Crime Syndicate family for their lies!” What a sham. The absurdity that these criminals think people can’t see them for the deceptive crooks and sociopaths that they are is beyond the pale. That Cassidy, who then in true GOP subservience to the Cabal rolls over at the end and backtracks his strong, truthful, and well deserved words tells you everything you need to know about the culture of this hopelessly inept, partners-in-dysfunction and incompetent Congress.
Oh my. Let’s not accuse the “honorable people” in the administration who are tearing down the country of lying. I mean that is so harsh.
Dear Honorable Lady Yellen:
A lie is a lie is a lie.
My oh my, she’s such a buffoon.
There’s something that’s said about dark humor … not everyone gets it.
It should be obvious by now that yellen is way over her head but what the hell, she fits right in with the incompetent biden admin.
Bill Cassidy was re-elected as a Louisiana Senator because of President Trump’s support. In EVERY Media ad and in EVERY interview, Cassidy expressed his support for President Trump’s policies. As soon as his lucrative Senate position was assured he turned on the Louisiana Voters and President Trump. He lied. Just like Yellen lies.
He saw how successful it was for Mittens…emulation is the biggest form of flattery!
Yellen always portrays herself as the kindly grandmother that’s going to go home, throw an apron on, and bake cookies for the grandchildren. Calm demeanor…non-confrontational. What dagger does she have in her hand.
Solution:
She looks scared…
SHE BETTER BE!
Secretary ‘Dunce’ Yellen…
I don’t think much of Cassidy but good theater by him for trying to call out the Hobbit queen Yellen. She has no more idea of what’s really going on than Biden does which makes her a perfect cabinet member. They have lied their way into a torrent that is exposing itself, which is wonderful to see. MAGA 2024!!!
This useless sack of dog excrement basically came out today to say we’re not salvaging anything but important banks. Clearly an effort to push money toward the big banks or to mattresses. Regardless, to people paying attention, that was purely digital currency propaganda.
1) Adding more funding to the SS “Trust Fund” will do NOTHING to secure the viability of the system. The funds go to the general account of the government, not into any dedicated account anywhere! The “Trust Fund” is just paper IOU’s in file cabinets in Parkersburg, WV. The whole thing is a scam!
2) Deficit spending doesn’t add to inflation? Yellen is either lying or she is an idiot? Neither is good for our country!
3) This woman is an “economist” just like Kruger? Clueless about basic math!
