This week, we come together as a nation to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving is a time for us to pause and give thanks for the many blessings in our lives. However, this Thanksgiving, hardworking families in the First District and across our country are struggling and bearing the brunt of increasing inflation and President Biden’s economic crisis. Thanksgiving 2021 is expected to be the most expensive meal in the history of the holiday due to Biden’s failed economic policies. Real wages have decreased in 7 of the 9 months since Joe Biden has been President, and in October, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.9% to 6.2%. Inflation is a tax on every single American and disproportionately harms middle- and lower-class Americans.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my wife and children, and for our freedom that is defended by our military. I am thankful to be an Arkansan and to serve and represent the First District. I hope that despite the unfair taxation this President’s administration has unleashed, you all are able to persevere and have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!
