Yellen, the former Federal Reserve chair, disclosed the more than 50 speaking gigs, including to government-regulated Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Barclays Plc and hedge fund Citadel LLC, as part of a set of documents that move her candidacy closer to consideration by the U.S. Senate.

In another filing to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, Yellen said she would seek written authorizations to participate in substantive issues involving such firms.

Yellen agreed to resign from her position as a consultant for Australian investment firm Magellan Financial Group Ltd if she is confirmed by the Senate. She also outlined several divestments in public company stock that she would implement if she is confirmed.

#2 >Janet Yellen, earned at least $7 million from speaking engagements over the past two years

Janet Yellen, collected payment for favours at the expense of American taxpayers of at least $7 million via speaking engagements over the past two years

FIFY. Central Banks centrally price Debt (you don't REALLY think there is SOOO much saving and far too little borrowing therefor interest rates are below the lending risk rate do you?). Guess what helped destroy the soviet economy? Direct Central Pricing.

I cannot see how this is capitalist or beneficial to the average American.
