The spending spree continues this week as Democrats continue to try to ram their ridiculous reconciliation bill down our throats. The radicals have been back-seat driving far too long. Our holiday cheer is now being threatened by this administration's refusal to cut up the credit cards. It is truly astonishing. We are all set to experience the most expensive Thanksgiving in our country's history, thanks to these reckless spending habits perpetrated by the White House. Turkey prices are up 27 percent. Potatoes are up 13 percent. Carrots are up 47 percent. The beloved pumpkin pie from Costco is up 17 percent. The Consumer Price Index is up 6.2 percent overall. This is an indicator of how much extra people are having to pay for their goods. In addition, natural gas is up 40 percent, and home heating oil is up 60 percent. Americans are being forced to pay more to heat their homes at a time when the weather is at its coldest. Nowhere in America should hardworking taxpayers have to choose between heating their home and putting food on the table. These are not pandemic-related issues anymore. They are government- created issues. This is what socialism looks like. Joe Biden says: Get used to it. Empty shelves, runaway inflation, and government control--this no longer looks like America. It looks like a failed socialist nation. That is what it looks like. We will not cave to the desires of the far left. We will push back. America will remain free, and we will prevail.
