    Cruelest Tax on the Poor
    Turkey dinner will cost 25% more this year than just four years ago. It's just a reflection of the hardships imposed on the poor by the reckless, "buy your vote at any cost" policies of the federal government.

    Quote:

    Gathering around the table for a Thanksgiving dinner won’t take as much of a toll on your pocketbook this year compared to 2022, but the meal still reflects historically high costs. The American Farm Bureau Federation’s 38th annual survey provides a snapshot of the average cost of this year’s classic holiday feast for 10, which is $61.17 or less than $6.20 per person.
    This is a 4.5% decrease from last year’s record-high average of $64.05, but a Thanksgiving meal is still 25% higher than it was in 2019, which highlights the impact high supply costs and inflation have had on food prices since before the pandemic.
    Rather interestingly, the price actually FELL during the Trump admin.
