The White House took a victory lap this week for purportedly “lowering costs” to American families preparing to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, while ignoring rising prices that have affected consumers since President Biden’s election in 2020.
“This Thanksgiving, we have a lot to be thankful for. While inflation caused by the pandemic and Russia’s war continues to be a challenge, we have seen important progress,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a Monday press briefing at which she displayed a hypothetical Thanksgiving menu to make her point.
Jean-Pierre highlighted that gas prices have decreased $1.70 from their peak in June 2022, while airline ticket prices have gone down 13% from this time last year, while car rental prices had fallen roughly 10%.

Russia, Russia, Russia...
Pure, 100% lies.
Yep - anyone remember that red haired bridge troll Biden spokesthing who smugly bragged that the July 4th picnic was cheaper because pork and beans was $.05 cheaper a can? When someone brought up that utilities, gas and water was higher so the cost was actually much more she ignored them and insisted it was cheaper.
"White House claims credit for ‘lowering’ Thanksgiving prices despite rising costs since 2020"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Ah, but compared to when FJB took office...?
Yeah? So? Isn't this the same person that said the President has no control over gas prices?
2 days ago:
Wonder Bread loaf at Smith’s grocery store in Dayton, Nev:
$4.29 a loaf.
Only thing this White House knows about prices is when they do a drive by and see cars in the parking lot.
And you must accpet it because they say so.
Prices UP 100%, then down 15%.
See what a great job we are doing? (just ignore the fact that prices under us are still up 85%).
So, prices go up, not Joe Stupid’s fault
Prices come down, Joe Stupid gets the credit.
Got it
Seriously?
Every other reporting is T-day prices are up sometimes over 35%.
Just because the White House says it ain’t so, don’t make it true.
