The American people are all looking forward to the holiday season. Unfortunately, the annual pre-Thanksgiving shopping receipt will be a sad reminder that Washington hasn't been working for them. Up and down the grocery store aisle, prices have risen on all our Thanksgiving necessities. Turkeys cost 23 percent more, eggs cost 43 percent more, butter is up 27 percent, and milk up 15 percent. The overall price of groceries over the last year has risen 12.4 percent. For those traveling far to see their families and loved ones this year, airline fares are up 43 percent over last year. While everyone is having to tighten their budgets, those working two jobs or on fixed incomes are getting hit the hardest, forcing roughly one in four Americans to forego Thanksgiving dinner altogether. An additional $9 trillion in government spending has fueled this inflation crisis, and hardworking Americans are paying the price. If we are going to get this country back on track, Congress needs to cut spending, unleash American energy independence, and push pro-growth policies. It is time to fix a broken Washington and save America from this administration's failed economic agenda. Stuarts Draft Cougars Cheer Team Wins Again
