Happy Thanksgiving

Are you feeling a little tense as you anticipate time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving dinner table?

Is it something more than the new turkey recipe that’s making you anxious?

Are you worried that when the conversation turns to politics and the economy you won’t have the facts at your command?

You’re in luck.

Josh Bivens, an economist at the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, has your back. He’s prepared fact-based responses to the typical Thanksgiving Day assertions and posted them in a blog recently.

Give it a read. Think of it as just another part of your Thanksgiving dinner preparation.

Have a happy one.
