Women, working families, the elderly and everyone struggling in today's economy need an ally at the Fed. Janet Yellen, who recognizes that reducing unemployment is as important as keeping inflation under control, is that ally.
This is a historic moment for gender equity. Janet Yellen is the right choice, male or female. She is the right choice because of her understanding of labor markets, job creation, and ability to hear all points of view and then make a decision. Now that change is taking place at the very top, it's time to break glass ceilings at every tier of the financial-industry citadel.
I'm tired of praying for the dead.
