  1. What about my animal lover friends paying $6 a bale for hay!?

  2. Joneme pawerr fondo monetario resesion

  3. Estuden enpresa promotiondesarroyo

  4. Turkey's eat their own feces and other turkeys.

  5. UNITY is coming with inflation to Americans. GLOBAL ECONOMIC TAX CUTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR INFLATION

  6. It's not JUST thanksgiving greedflation, it's all the rest of the greedflation.

  7. Yeah, no presents this year. Not that it matters. The gifts I do receive are merely essentials. Just so this economy can bend to the wit of an old thief in office

  8. Lets see. Democrats get huge campaign donations from unions. Democrats stay in power. Immediately after the election, teachers, civil servants, auto workers, railroads, longshoremen all go on strike. All of them were big contributors to Democrats. When Democrats are talking wage and price controls for the rest of us, their unions are killing the supply chain and extorting us for higher wages. Democrats own lack of integrity is whats preventing action on the economy, not Republicans' blocking further spending.

  9. Being an EXrailroad hoghead I get the instant 'rollingmyfkneyes' look every time folks mention strikes and fail to mention the 1000s of SCABS the railroads have waiting in line to keep the trains moving. Union Railroad train and enginemen employees have 'job insurance'. They literally get paid a percentage of their daily pay if laid off. Give em more money, they'll do the same thing the next time a Democrat is elected POTUS, thats a promise.

  10. Union's are co-conspirators with the Amerikan Taliban aka registered democrats. Short Peter Defazio in Oregon got rich in these scams.

  11. Always good to hear from Art. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis last year tweeted about people should eat Tofurky instead of Turkey. By the way they will be eating Turkey.

  12. they better keep our railways people happy along with our truckers, these people are the backbone of our country, cannot have strikes, bottom line, get this idiot out of office now, why do you think polosi bailed out, she got out while she could, she will be investigated sooner or later

  13. It's not the cost of Turkey or even gasoline on Thanksgiving it is the cost of food and energy the other 364 days of the year that hurts the consumer.

  14. Art, you are making a mistake about unions. We need unions to help set labor rates, and other things like retirement. You republicans need to make friends with the unions. I’m union, and HATE the democrats. We all do!

  15. WEVE BEEN STUGGLING FOR 18 MONTHS THE ENTIRE US CITIZENRY.

  16. Folks the corruption is killing America!
    Manipulation Counterfeiting Currency into existence and then using rates to borrow for public employees then raise rates to punish Americans!
    Sorry you lost this citizen! We the people want resignations in shame!!

  17. Art Laffer and many others need to educate themselves if they want to talk about railroad contracts. These negotiations have not been about wages for several decades. They are about the inability to take time off. The railroads have been tightening attendance policies constantly. Money is one thing. Constantly being away from home and your families is another. Freight crews regularly miss birthdays, ball games, school activities, and holidays. Divorces are common. Children become alienated from their fathers. The wages, retirement income, and health insurance become a yoke around the neck of the employees.

  18. I'll be eating free cube steak. Thanks local food bank!!

  19. My heart goes out to anyone who has an oil furnace at their home .
    The democrats are the reason you will be suffering this year .
    The new green nightmare sucks !

  20. CRIMINAL US GOVT AS THE WAR FRAUDS THAT BIDEN IS AND THE TRUMP GOVT …

  21. Political Turkey Shoot anyone?

  22. The digital economy is wired much more tightly than 40 years ago, for Powell to jack up rates too much Volker style and/or let them seek their own level like water; so incremental increases are the norm. If that style of manipulation were to happen today massive volatility would follow. Anytime external control factors are put in place by government there is interference in the free market, and the market wins the argument either way.

  23. They're taking on debt to buy time. We're taking a hit again.

  24. Does anyone remember when President Regan ended the air traffic controllers strike? And didn't Genius Joe Biden end the railroad strike 😆

  25. Can't wait until the rail strike happens and you bourgeois ghouls learn the power of labor!

  26. Biden is an idoit and just counts the money that he gets in bribes, hes not looken out for America !

  27. Let’s go Brandon. Thanks Joe. You did this.
