The economy is on the upswing, and many Americans are feeling more cheerful about their wallets these days. With the holiday season creeping up, news from the Labor Department suggests that wholesale prices rose less than expected in September. This is a good sign that inflation may just be taking a break, and that’s fantastic news for those planning to travel for Thanksgiving. In fact, gas prices are at a four-year low, averaging around $3.07 per gallon, with nearly 30 states reporting prices under the $3 mark.
And it doesn’t stop there! According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, the cost of Thanksgiving dinner for ten people is down 5% this year. So, if turkeys could talk, they might just quack in relief. It seems like more families will be able to enjoy their holiday feasts without maxing out their credit cards.
Behind the scenes, the National Economic Council is buzzing with excitement. Some experts believe that President Trump’s leadership is playing a significant role in the economic turnaround. With tax cuts, deregulation, and energy dominance at the forefront of his policies, the economy has reportedly seen substantial growth. In fact, there has been talk of 40% growth in two consecutive quarters, which is music to the ears of business owners and workers alike.
However, the liberal media isn’t dancing to the same tune. According to the experts, there’s a disconnect between the good news surrounding the economy and how it’s portrayed in the media. While headlines claim retail sales are collapsing, the actual numbers show sales slightly dipping, but still reflecting growth when compared year-over-year. It seems like some media outlets are more interested in elbowing their way into a negative narrative rather than sharing the sunny side of the economic story.
As families gear up for Thanksgiving, it’s hard to ignore the elephant in the room: the previous administration’s inflation rates. Under former President Biden, inflation rates were soaring—leaving everyday Americans feeling squeezed. However, under Trump’s administration, purchasing power has increased, making it easier for families to fill their shopping carts once again.
As the holiday approaches, many can look forward to filling their bellies and their hearts without the financial strain that has been all too common in recent years. With lower gas prices making travel easier and reduced turkey costs making dinner a little sweeter, it’s no wonder some are calling this a golden age for the American economy. The hope is for a bright holiday season filled with gratitude and savings, leaving families to focus on the important things, like spending quality time together and sharing delicious food rather than worrying about their bank accounts.
