“As Treasury secretary, I have to worry about all of the risks to the economy,” Yellen added. “And the most important risk is that we leave workers and communities scarred by the pandemic and the economic toll that it’s taken, that we don’t do enough to address the pandemic and the public health issues, that we don’t get our kids back to school.”
