Janet Yellen To Head U.S. Treasury

Joe Biden apparently has picked Janet Yellen to become the first woman to serve as the head of the U.S. Treasury in the 231 year-old history of the department.

She’s very much what I would describe as a pragmatic centrist. She’s smart as a whip. Restrained, but usually the smartest person in the room.

Yellen served as Fed Chair from 2014-2018 and was the first woman to break that glass ceiling. She was a member of Clinton’s Economic Advisory Council in the 90’s as well.

I think it’s very solid pick and apparently the markets agree as the Dow hit an all-time high this morning as Yellen has been picked to save the economy which Donald Trump has left behind in a ditch.

The next two quarters will be tough with negative GDP numbers looming since there has been virtually no presidential leadership in dealing with the spiraling COVID-19 crisis.

Unbashingly cheating on a golf course or sport f–king in a furniture store with Guliani don’t count as presidential leadership outside of the Trump base universe of cluelessness.

The transition began yesterday of course without Trump taking any involvement in actually you know being the POTUS as the COVID death total is now close to 260,000.

Be safe on Thanksgiving. Be smart and make prudent decisions. Try not to be too hard on your Trump relatives who literally sold their souls for individul monetary greed when they voted for the grifter punk Donald Trump.

If you want to point out to them what they did was the weakest most insidious decision in the history of the United States that’s your individual call.

I’m just going to pray for their souls and keep these thoughts to myself.

Be safe and live to make it to Christmas.
