In a separate interview with National Public Radio's Marketplace program, Yellen said the bill would address longstanding problems in the economy.In comments to Gray Television on Monday, U.S. Representative Kevin Brady, the top Republican on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, disputed claims that the spending bill would expand the U.S.
Yellen said she did not see a 1970s-style inflation spiral developing because the Federal Reserve would not allow inflation expectations to become "embedded in the American psyche."
