But with a number of economic issues plaguing the nation such as the supply crisis and inflation, many Republicans are criticizing Biden\u2019s choice of housing for his trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inflation has hit a three-decade high under the Biden administration. Thanksgiving as a whole will cost 14% more than it did one year ago according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fb.org\/newsroom\/farm-bureau-survey-shows-thanksgiving-dinner-cost-up-14\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Farm Bureau Federation.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A deeper dive into the numbers shows how much Biden\u2019s policies and failures are truly hurting Americans this holiday season. Turkey is up 24% from last year and chicken has increased 26% from last year according to the Labor Department. Rather than be sympathetic to the average American, the White House seems to not really care about the issue. When asked about the message Biden\u2019s vacation sends to Americans, Press Secretary Jen Psaki shrugged off the question, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CurtisHouck\/status\/1463249511250337796?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1463249511250337796%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fbiden-thanksgiving-billionaires-nantucket-home-out-touch-republicans\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">saying that turkeys only cost a dollar more. <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psaki\u2019s answer and Biden\u2019s trip have both received criticism. While Republicans have been the most vocal, some Democrats have joined in the criticism. RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPChairwoman\/status\/1462820847614414860\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tweeted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cAs Biden spends Thanksgiving in ritzy Nantucket, food pantries around the country are struggling to serve those most in need because of his rising prices and supply chain crisis,&#8221;. The left\u2019s criticism is on the association to David Rubenstein. Rubenstein is a co-founder of the Carlyle Group. Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin previously worked as the co-chief executive of the Carlyle Group before his election.
