‘THAT’S A LIE:’ Janet Yellen Faces Grilling Before Senate Finance Committee.
Salient point
Biden’s refusal to work with lawmakers was brought up again by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) on the issue of protecting the solvency of Social Security. Yellen tried to insist that Biden “cares very deeply” about the program, but couldn’t explain any of his actions to back up that claim. Instead, Yellen insisted Biden “stands ready to work with Congress.”
“That’s a lie,” Cassidy pointed out, as lawmakers have tried to meet with Biden on the subject to no avail.
It’s unsurprising that Biden doesn’t have a plan to address Social Security or negotiate a debt ceiling increase, considering his previous failures. From the Afghanistan withdrawal to declaring “independence” from COVID in 2021, Biden’s plans, when he does have them, don’t end any better.
SENATOR CASSIDY: "Why doesn't the president care?"
YELLEN: "He cares very deeply."
CASSIDY: "Then where is his plan?"
YELLEN: "He stands ready to work with Congress."
