On the recordNovember 17, 2021
We are just 1 week away from Thanksgiving, and American families are bracing for one of the most expensive in history. The cost of almost everything is up; from the turkey to the pumpkin pie, your Thanksgiving meal will cost you significantly more than last year's. Rising costs aren't just making it hard to put food on the table. The price of a gallon of gas is up 61 percent nationally from last year, making it more expensive for families to travel to loved ones this holiday season. Inflation is a hidden tax that hurts the lowest income Americans the most. This Thanksgiving tax is just the latest example of bad economic policies that are making life for Americans more expensive. Throwing trillions of dollars at the problems we are facing is not the solution and will only make these issues worse. ____________________
