   Where’s the part where Yellen said we can’t afford those other things?

   The thing I saw was her saying we don’t need to cut aid to Ukraine because of turmoil in Palestine and Israel — basically a rebuke to Putin-licking MAGA Republicans. Was there another part of her remarks I missed? (Sorry if I just missed the quote in the news here)

     US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says the country can 'absolutely' afford another war.

     But not universal healthcare, cancelling student debt, or anything at all that helps the poor.
