Tornado Alley (PROG)

Mendacity is one of the GOP's core principals. LIke the NY Times reporter showing part of the receipt for his outrageously expensive meal at Newark Airport. Turned out the burger and fries he ate were priced pretty reasonable and it was his multiple alcoholic drinks that caused the check to be so high. And let's not forget Fox News pundit and former GOP congressman Jason Chaffetz, who previously served as the U.S. Representative for Utah's 3rd Congressional District, blamed "Bidenomics" for what he claimed were sky-high turkey prices during a Fox News broadcast.

"We went to go buy a turkey today, it was $90 for a turkey!" Chaffetz said. "The price of stamps is up 32 percent in the last four years. But it's all a choice by Joe Biden, that's what Bidenomics is!"

Recent figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicate an average cost of $1.25 per pound, 43 cents less than last year. While the total price varies by weight, the $90 turkey cited by Chaffetz would need to weigh a massive 72 pounds based on the average.

LOLOLOL!! That would have been wonderful, though mendacious. The price of eggs is down again.
