The national debt is reaches $35 billion but the pigs still want to feed at the trough.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Saturday that the global transition to a low-carbon economy requires $3 trillion in new capital each year through 2050, far above current annual financing, but that filling the gap is the biggest economic opportunity of the 21st century.

Yellen said in Belem, Brazil’s Amazon gateway city, that reaching net-zero emissions goals remained a top priority for the Biden-Harris administration and this would require leadership far beyond U.S. borders.

“Neglecting to address climate change and the loss of nature and biodiversity is not just bad environmental policy. It is bad economic policy,” Yellen said in a speech after attending a G20 finance leaders meeting on Thursday and Friday in Rio de Janeiro.

Janet Yellen has a background in policy making being the former chairman of the Federal Reserve under Barack Obama and is an economist by trade. She should no better than this unless she somehow stands to profit from such largess directly or indirectly. Otherwise, inflation is way out of control and it, along with the size of the national debt, are ruining people’s lives.
