Yellen was firing a shot across the bow of Republicans who are attempting yet another debt-funded tax cut for corporations and the wealthiest Americans, while predictably a tax rise for everyone else.

Republicans claim they want to reduce government debt, yet their actions have always greatly increased debt at a far faster rate than Democrats. Now they're telling the same lies but some Republicans may join the Democrats to vote down this debt-funded give-away program.

National debt doubled under BOTH Bush and Obama eight year term. GDP stood $12.68T in 2000 last year of Clinton and $16.85T in 2016. Basically debt grows at twice the rate of growth in GDP this century. China a similar situation but higher rates same end game.. Most scary these are the few bright spots on the global stage.
