There Goes The Neighborhood – Opinions From E. Curtis Johnson

There goes the neighborhood! Recently appointed Federal Reserve Chair-woman, Janet Yellen, moved into an exclusive Georgetown gated community. Hillandale has over 50 pages of homeowner bylaws. Neighbors are complaining about the aesthetics of Yellen’s security detail, which includes, security trucks and fast-food deliveries to the security guards who one resident called, “doughnut bellies.”

I’m E. Curtis Johnson. Here’s my suggestion to Hillandale residents: drink a large glass of prune juice. You’ll feel better. Yellen’s neighbors are missing the big picture. The Federal Reserve is neither truly Federal nor a full reserve. America’s economy is a giant game of Monopoly, where the Rich Uncle controls the action and our dollars aren’t worth much more than actually Monopoly money. Referring to the power that the Fed Chair-woman has, and not of Yellen personally, living next door to the head of the Fed, and griping about the security detail, is like living next door to a dangerous uncontrollable beast and complaining it doesn’t have a city dog license.
