Market working for everybody again. Here is what i mean by that. I think the legitimate concerns the people have. People who are undocumented are doing jobs that used to be done by people who are american citizens. I deplore that. Here is why it happens.

Hearing with Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen King underway momentarily. Yellen getting underway momentarily. [gavel strikes] today we received testimony from Federal Reserve chair janet yellen regarding the fed semiannual report on Monetary Policy. While Humphrey Hawkins testimony is a key part of congresss oversight of our nations centralbank, it is not sufficient to provide congress and the American Public with a full picture of said policymaking. Best of said policymaking. I have often remarked on the importance of strength the importance of transparency. One of the feds reasoning for maintaining independence is to avoid a little sizi avoid politicizing avoid politicizing its position. While the line between politics and policy can be fine, it should nonetheless be clear and unambiguous. The fed should act in a manner consistent with its statutory mandate in the interest of the stability of the u. S. Economy. Whether or not such policies aligned with the goals of congress or the
