While a new report from Wells Fargo said the price of a Thanksgiving dinner could be down a little bit this year, the cost of groceries has risen 2.5% year over year, per federal statistics. The cost of gas in Knoxville has risen nearly a dollar since last year, per AAA.
How can the Thanksgiving dinner be cheaper when groceries are up 2.5% from last year?
“I’m really hoping with all the new people we have in the elections, with all the new Senate leaders, all the new representatives in the House, we start seeing some price drops here soon"
If only Tennessee voters had contributed to the new Senate and House leaders in the election.
President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act is projected to raise the deficit in the following years, not unlike the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed during the first Trump Administration.
Whatta ya gonna do? I voted for a new Administration. How about you?
