The House Oversight Committee investigating Biden family business dealings has issued subpoenas to Hunter and James Biden to appear for depositions. Also requested for transcribed interviews are family members and associates including Sara and Hallie Biden.

One thing they could probably do without, however, is a White House and media that keep telling them how happy they should be with Bidenomics. Let’s take a tour of the Thanksgiving table to understand.

The latest White House lecture is that inflation has fallen from 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.2% last month. But disinflation—inflation rising at a slower rate—isn’t the same as deflation, which is falling prices. Thanksgiving dinner prices are rising less fast than they did in the last two years, but they’re still rising.
