Big deal. I mean I know I am totally incorruptible by the influence of money so I am sure Yellen is as well. I mean, she has to make a living, right? Right? RIGHT? I mean if we stop her from getting this money what will happen when I become important and want, I mean, need these speaking fees to put food on my table? Do you literally want to starve Yellen's grandchildren????

(Either people do not know I was being sarcastic or I will become very depressed.)

So did Hillary Clinton and I’m sure Yellen is just as uninfluenced by them as she was.

Basically the worth of a nation given to one family.

considering their grip on Saudi Arabia, that's the worth of a nation.
