Vice President Harris Swears In Janet Yellen As Treasury Secretary | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
In the words of Craig Ferguson, “It’s a great day for America!”.
More power to Yellen in dealing with the economic crisis in the country!
Looks like the tv show Madam secretary inspired this moment
No, I think Madame Secretary is what female Cabinet members have always been called. Since 1933 when FDR appointed Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor.
More adults back in the room. Congratulations Secretary Yellen.
What a disgusting, racist cheater she is. What a horrible example to young American women she is. We should be celebrating our first elected women VP but we are not! She cheated and is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
Congratulations madam secretary! We need her expertise!
She’s disgusting
lol
@The Truth Is Out 777 STOP TROLLING AROUND.
@Christopher Santana SHUT UP TROLL
Wait, Wait is that trumps federal taxes coming up the road:)
@Joe Dementia Fingers because that NEVER happened that is why its NOT a problem
@Joe Dementia Fingers I state FACTS, you are the one who has NOT put any FACTS out there at all
@Joe Dementia Fingers China Thanks trump: Obama/ Biden formed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), trump withdrew from the (TPP). The TPP “EXCLUDED” China. That was deliberate. It was meant to balance the trade dominance of both China and India in East Asia. The TPP would have given the United States an excuse to intervene in trade disputes in the oil-rich South China Sea.
@Joe Dementia is a troll, don’t feed the trolls
@Joe Dementia Fingers you are a liar… Biden has released ALL his tax returns to the public….. trump has released NONE!!! Trump’s the only one hiding his taxes and financial info….
This is one of the best selections that Joe has made. Yellen is an excellent choice and we should all be delighted that she was confirmed by the Senate and is now firmly in office. She is an outstanding individual and she will work hard to make the new Biden administration the best ever. What an outstanding pic.
@Reason thank you for that information. I am simply trying to be informed about her with my question. I’m glad that Harris hired the proper person for the job then.
@Boris Karloff ya, those were fees that she earned. Nothing wrong with that. Was there any illegal activity done by her? If not then shut it.
@Maximilian Houk: Biden hired her. Harris just did the swearing in ceremony.
@Reason well thank you for the correction. I just wanted information. Thank you sir/ma’am
@Boris Karloff She earned that money because the people who paid her thought she was well worth it. Anybody who can earn that amount of money for giving advice it was worth that amount of money. We are very lucky to have her. Now she is working for the American people. Then we are lucky to have her.
Many Americans have an interest in Wall Street and in the stock market. If you have an insurance policy, if you have a bank account, If you have a retirement pension, if you have a 401(k) the stock market is very important to you. I suggest to many people that they find a good broker or financial advisor informed that person that you were going to give them a certain amount of money every month and by retirement time do you want millions. That might be hard to do but it’s a goal were shooting for.
Joe made a wise pic when he selected her.
Madam Secretary. That sounds so good.
Thank God!!!! Adults in the room!
Where?
@Judith Barth Yes! Finally!👍🏾😁
Are u A PiGlosi lover
@Dennis Vance Oh look! A brand, spanking new troll account.
@Alex Mitchell u a PiGlosi lover ?
Janet Yellen was said to be the best qualified Fed Chair ever. Perhaps the same could be said of her tenure as Secretary of the Treasury.
Yellen the most corrupt yet since the United States dissolved. Honey R Siegal Stober *records of me deceased fabricated in the Fed in 1999. Truth stranger than fiction. See my Discussion
Congratulations, Biden dream team coming together at last! America on their way out of dark cloud! 👍✌🙏💙

@None of your business Actually, watching people applaud a Secretary being sworn in to a defunct corporation is pretty interesting.
PiGlosi lover

I’m upset at the number of people assuming yellens Gender.
That reminds me of something: Did anybody hear anything from mnuchin this year, especially after January 6th? 🤔 The weasel went into hiding…
You’re right!🤔
