Thanksgiving Inflation
Our homes are filling up with all the stuff for a great Thanksgiving dinner, however, this year a dinner for ten on average will cost $53.31. This represents a 13.7% increase than last year, being the largest year-over-year spike since 1990. We are looking at the most expensive Thanksgiving dinner ever.

| Charles , love your show. When you and Larry Kudlow discuss the economy everyone learns a lot. Patricia Heng on 11/19/2021 9:23:21 PM |
| Thank you so much Patricia,
That's my main goal. I will also share with Larry. CP Charles Payne on 11/20/2021 10:32:50 AM |
| "Thanksgiving is a typically American holiday. In spite of its religious form (giving thanks to God for a good harvest), its essential, secular meaning is a celebration of successful production. It is a producers’ holiday. The lavish meal is a symbol of the fact that abundant consumption is the result and reward of production. Abundance is (or was and ought to be) America’s pride—just as it is the pride of American parents that their children need never know starvation" --Ayn Rand John Galt on 11/20/2021 6:21:00 PM |
