Yellen on Criticisms of Spending: People 'Got the Support They Needed' -- 'We Did the Best We Could' and the World Also Has Inflation

During an interview with NBC News on Monday broadcast on Monday's edition of MSNBC's "The 11th Hour," Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen responded to criticisms that the government has spent too much money by stating that people "know that they got the support they needed to get through a horrible pandemic." And stated that President Joe Biden's economic team did "the best we could" and urged people to "look around the world and look at how the U.S. is doing in comparison with all of our advanced country counterparts where inflation is also extremely high."
