According to experts, this Thanksgiving will be the most expensive ever and GOP lawmakers believe it\u2019s all thanks to the failed policies of the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>While appearing together, three Republican senators took aim at the tax and spending policies of Biden\u2019s White House. Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.) slammed Democrats for harming the American economy by refusing to address key issues and work across the isle.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cI would argue many of the policies that are being done, the massive increase in spending, are actually adding to the problem,\u201d said the Arkansas Republican. \u201cIt\u2019s not the delivery truck driver\u2019s fault and it\u2019s not the store\u2019s fault. The blame falls squarely on the White House and the Democratic leadership in this chamber and House for not addressing challenges we face today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Echoing those sentiments, Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) warned Americans will pay more to eat on Thanksgiving than ever before and the Democrats are to blame.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThis is going to be the most expensive Thanksgiving for American families in history,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe turkey itself is going to be 18 percent higher than it was last year. Other costs \u2014 eggs, poultry, fish, meat \u2014 year over year have increased 11.9 percent.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thune said his constituents in South Dakota, like most Americas, are going to see their heating bill and other utilities sky rocket this winter. On tope of that, gas prices are at a seven-year high.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you\u2019re heating your home or cooking your food, utilities in South Dakota tell us heating costs are going to be 50 to 100 percent higher than last year,\u201d Thune continued. \u201cI\u2019ve been warning about this since last February when the Democrats were talking about passing their first massive tax and spend bill, and since that time we\u2019ve seen the highest inflation rate in 31-years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also joining in, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said the American people are not only dealing with high inflation, they are also seeing their wages stagnate resulting in a silent tax.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe fact of the matter is, no one\u2019s wages are growing at that rate,\u201d explained the Texas lawmaker. \u201cAnd so what\u2019s happening, effectively in purchasing power for people on limited income or fixed income, it\u2019s a silent tax on those consumers.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Whether it\u2019s the most expensive Thanksgiving in history, inflation and skyrocketing gas prices, or our overwhelmed southern border, one thing is for certain:<\/p>\n<p>The answer to the countless Democrat-caused crises, is NOT more Democrat-authored policies. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MMbr38ETtV\">pic.twitter.com\/MMbr38ETtV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Mike Johnson (@RepMikeJohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepMikeJohnson\/status\/1461123226269011968?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, a new survey found just around a third of Americans approve of Biden\u2019s job performance. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/poll.qu.edu\/poll-release?releaseid=3827\">Quinnipiac University poll of adults released Thursday<\/a>, 36 percent of respondents had a favorable view of how Biden is handling the job while 53 percent disapproved.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, respondents did not approve of the Democrat\u2019s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the economy and foreign policy among other issues. The survey also notably found a majority of respondents believe Biden does not have good leadership skills and is dishonest.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-lawmakers-shine-light-on-bidens-vaccine-mandate\/\">GOP Lawmakers Shine Light On Biden\u2019s Vaccine Mandate<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
