 Janet Yellen departs from office — as she leaves a trail of mess behind her

The whiplash-inducing, “Hun­ger Games”-style race to become Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary made it easy for the media to ignore what has been going on with Janet Yellen — and the absolute mess she’s leaving for her successor.

Yellen — who, it was revealed Friday, will be replaced as Treasury secretary in January by hedge fund mogul Scott Bessent — was Joe Biden’s pick to run the office that is essentially the country’s CFO.

Indeed, it could be the most important cabinet position in the White House given the importance of the US economy. Americans put Trump in office largely over his handling of the economy during his first term — job growth and wages that kept place with a low inflation rate.

Despite her gold-plated résumé, Ivy League degrees, and time served as Fed chair, Yellen gave the country just the opposite. Her boss paid the price politically as the American people paid the price economically.

And according to my sources, the American people aren’t done paying the price for Yellen’s mismanagement even if most of the financial media is overlooking the fiscal time bomb she devised — one that could blow up once Trump takes office.

Letting Yellen run Treasury is about as a good idea as letting one of my grandchildren.   And the results are in.....  If the socialist wanted economic scorched earth......   they got it.

With her resume, she should have been the greatest Treasury Secretary in the history of Treasury Secretaries. Instead, we got a completely incompetent idiot.

I thought it went without saying since the entire Biden administration from top to bottom was nothing but incompetent idiots.

Yes, that clearly was the most important consideration.
