Is the WH going to brag about July 4th prices again?

Remember when the Biden White House bragged about the price of a 4^th of July cookout going down by $0.16 last year? Let’s check how that’s going.

How it started:

Planning a cookout this year? Ketchup on the news. According to the Farm Bureau, the cost of a 4th of July BBQ is down from last year. It’s a fact you must-hear(d). Hot dog, the Biden economic plan is working. And that’s something we can all relish. pic.twitter.com/7h9qLauIbC

How it’s going:

Kiss that $0.16 (and much more) goodbye. The price of a July 4^th cookout is up 17% this year according to the Farm Bureau. And that doesn’t even include the astronomical price of gas to get wherever you’re going.

So when can we see the snarky tweet from the White House on food prices this year? We won’t hold our breath.
