What parts of your Fourth of July barbecue will cost more, less? We explain.
Your Fourth of July barbecue essentials are going to be slightly more expensive this year – that is, if you even plan to celebrate. The Wells Fargo Agri-Food Institute analyzed costs for hosting a classic Fourth of July gathering for 10 people and found that consumers can expect to pay $130 for the food and beverages. That's up 2.2% from the cost for the same gathering a year ago. USA TODAY got an exclusive look at the report. But in another survey by Coupon Follow, only 1 out of 3 people plan to celebrate Independence Day at all. How much will the typical Fourth of July cookout cost? Wells Fargo took a look at the costs for hosting the classic Fourth of July gathering using data from NielsenIQ, which tracks food scanned at retailers across the U.S. While the cost of $130 for a gathering of 10 people is 2.2% higher than last year, the devil is in the details, said Wells Fargo: in particular the costs of beef and eggs are higher this year. The menu priced includes barbecued chicken breasts, beef sliders, hotdogs, fresh fruit, vegetable platter, potato salad, corn bread, cake, apple pie, ice cream, beer, wine soda and flavored sparking waters. Here's how those main menu items fare: How are costs for Fourth of July side dishes? Here's how side dishes will fare: Price increases?: How will Trump's tariffs affect grocery store prices? We explain. Why 1 in 3 don't plan to celebrate Americans' plans for the holiday depend on their age, location, and how they're feeling about the country in 2025. Close to half of Coupon Follow survey respondents say they won't celebrate Independence Day this year because they aren't 'feeling patriotic' and 44% said they feel 'disconnected from American culture right now.' National pride has dropped for some respondents, with 22% saying they feel less patriotic now than they did in recent years. However, 11% said they feel more patriotic, and 40% said their feelings about the holiday have not changed. A quarter said the holiday 'doesn't feel inclusive' to them. Price is a factor for 10% of respondents who say they can't afford to celebrate this year. The top reasons Americans gave for celebrating on July 4 are that it brings people together, they enjoy fireworks or summer events, and it is tradition. Younger generations are more likely to participate in this year's festivities. Only 31% of Gen Z and Millennials say they are opting out, while 38% of Gen X and 38% of Baby Boomers say they plan to sit out celebrations, the survey found. The holiday is most popular in the Midwest, where only 26% of Americans plan to skip it. At 40%, southerners are most likely to opt out. In between is the West and Northeast, where 31% say they don't have plans to celebrate. How much Americans plan to spend celebrating About 1 in 6 Americans say they will spend significantly less on the holiday this year due to inflation and rising costs. Clay Cary, senior trends analyst at Coupon Follow, told USA TODAY inflation is a large reason why 2025 appears to be a less busy year for July 4 travel. Only 9% of survey respondents plan to head out of town. For those who are celebrating, Coupon Follow estimates Americans will spend an average of $200 on travel, $100 on fireworks, $80 on food, $50 on drinks, and $40 on decorations. The survey found American's most popular cost-savings measures this year will include bulk shopping or using coupons, skipping decorations, and hosting a smaller event than usual.

SCOOP: House Republicans target 'vulnerable' Democrats for voting against tax cuts in 'big, beautiful bill'
Print Close By Paul Steinhauser Published June 23, 2025 FIRST ON FOX – The House Republican campaign committee is taking aim at congressional Democrats whom they charge are "pushing the largest tax hike in generations." As part of their aggressive messaging following the passage last month of the GOP's landmark spending and tax cut bill – dubbed by President Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill" – the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is launching ads on Monday against 25 House Democrats who likely face challenging re-elections in the 2026 midterms. "Democrats jacked up inflation, making life more expensive for all of us. We need help. Now, they're pushing the largest tax hike in generations," charges the narrator in the digital ads, which were shared first with Fox News. The narrator argues that the Democrats being targeted in the ads are "completely out of touch" and urges viewers of the spots to tell the Democratic lawmakers to keep their "hands off your hard-earned money." FIRST ON FOX: TRUMP-ALIGNED GROUP LAUNCHES SECOND ACT IN PUSH TO PASS 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' The bill passed the House of Representatives last month by just one vote, along partisan lines. And Trump is pushing for a July 4 deadline for the measure to pass through Congress and land on his desk at the White House. The GOP-crafted measure is stuffed full of Trump's campaign trail promises and second-term priorities on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit. It includes extending his signature 2017 tax cuts, which are set to sunset this year without action by Congress – and eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay. But the measure, if signed into law, would likely even further fuel the nation's massive budget deficit. The national debt currently sits at $36,215,397,741,847.76 as of June 18, according to FOX Business' National Debt Tracker. FOX NEWS POLL: WHAT AMERICANS THINK ABOUT THE ECONOMY AND TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' The spots, backed by a modest ad buy, are targeting California Democrats Josh Harder (9th District), Adam Gray (13th), George Whitesides (27th), Derek Tran (45th) and Dave Min (47th), and Florida's Darren Soto (9th) and Jared Moskowitz (23rd). Also included are Reps. Frank Mrvan (1st) of Indiana, Jared Golden (2nd) of Maine, Kristen McDonald Rivet (8th) of Michigan, Don Davis (1st) of North Carolina, Nellie Pou (9th) of New Jersey, Gabe Vasquez (2nd) of New Mexico, Dina Titus (1st), and Susie Lee (3rd), and Steven Horsford (4th) of Nevada. The NRCC ads also take aim at Reps. Tom Suozzi (3rd), Laura Gillen (4th) and Josh Riley (19th) of New York, Marcy Kaptur (9th) and Emilia Sykes (13th) of Ohio, Henry Cuellar (28th) and Vicente Gonzalez (34th) of Texas, Eugene Vindman (7th) of Virginia, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (3rd) of Washington state. Democrats are working to win back control of the House in next year's midterms, as the GOP defends its razor-thin majority in the chamber. "Out of touch House Democrats lit the fire of inflation and tried to slap Americans with the biggest tax hike in decades, all to fund their radical agenda. Voters won't forget this betrayal – not now, not next November," NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella claimed. FIRST ON FOX: THESE REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS SAY THEY 'STAND UNITED' IN SUPPORT OF TRUMP'S 'ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' A memo last month by the NRCC encouraged House Republicans to make the tax cuts a priority as they defended their votes on the tax and spending bill, and to take aim at Democrats for pushing to raise taxes on average Americans. The memo highlighted that the bill "prevents tax increases to put more money in every American's pocket." As Democrats attack the bill, they're highlighting the GOP's proposed restructuring of Medicaid – the nearly 60-year-old federal program that provides health coverage to roughly 71 million low-income Americans. The changes to Medicaid , as well as cuts to food stamps, another one of the nation's major safety net programs, were drafted in part as an offset to pay for extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts. The measure includes a slew of new rules and regulations, including work requirements for many of those seeking Medicaid coverage. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Democrats have relentlessly attacked Republicans over what they say will be "huge cuts" to Medicaid if the bill becomes law. But the NRCC pushes back, saying in its memo that it is "protecting Medicaid by removing illegal immigrants and eliminating fraud." Print Close URL

Trump just made the Fed's rate deliberations even more complicated
The Federal Reserve was already wrestling with a lot of uncertainty about the future path of monetary policy, and President Trump's weekend strike on Iran's nuclear sites will likely make that path even cloudier in the near term. The uncertainty of the part of central bank policymakers was already evident last week in the Fed's latest "dot plot" outlining future interest rate moves. While eight officials saw two cuts still happening in 2025, seven officials predicted no cuts at all — up from the four officials who made that call previously. Trump's strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend inject yet another layer of unknowns into those discussions as central bank officials prepare for their next meeting in July and gauge the impact of the president's trade, tax and immigration policies on the path of inflation and economic growth. There are worries from some Fed watchers that a sustained increase in oil prices would add to the inflationary impulse already present in the US from Trump's tariffs. Wall Street analysts at JPMorgan Chase (JPM) have warned that a prolonged conflict and the potential closure of the critical Strait of Hormuz could drive oil prices as high as $120 a barrel, pushing US inflation back toward 5%. That could bolster the argument of some hawks at the Fed that rates need to stay where they are for longer to protect against another inflation surge. On the other hand, there is also an argument circulating on Wall Street that the conflict could push the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates sooner than expected. "A sustained rise in oil prices could cause the Fed to strike a more dovish tone," Oxford Economics chief US economist Ryan Sweet wrote in a recent note to clients before Trump's attack, arguing that an extended oil shock could dent demand and potentially spill over into an otherwise resilient labor market. For this view to hold, Fed officials would have to get comfortable with the idea that any sudden spikes in oil prices tend to cause only a temporary rise in inflation that can be overlooked — and that any such shock could pose a bigger threat to growth and jobs than to inflation itself. Fed Chair Jerome Powell told reporters last Wednesday that while it's possible there could be higher energy prices, what has tended to happen when with turmoil in the Middle East is a spike in energy prices that tends to come down. "Those things don't generally tend to have lasting effects on inflation," Powell said at a press conference after the Fed held rates steady for the fourth meeting in a row. "Although of course in the 1970s, they famously did, because you had a series of very, very large shocks. But, we haven't seen anything like that now. The U.S. economy is far less dependent on foreign oil than it was back in the 1970s." Powell will likely be asked for his views of how Trump's new actions will affect the economy as he appears before House and Senate committees Tuesday and Wednesday, as part of a regular semi-annual appearance before Congress. The Fed will also get a new look at inflation this Friday with the release of the May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report. Economists expect annual "core" PCE — which excludes the volatile categories of food and energy — to have clocked in at 2.6%, up from the 2.5% seen in April. Over the prior month, economists project "core" PCE at 0.1%, unchanged from May. One influential voice at the Fed did get louder about the case for cuts in the days before Trump's attack, dismissing concerns that any inflation from the president's tariffs could be long lasting. In fact, Fed governor Christopher Waller on Friday told CNBC that rates could be cut at the next meeting on July 29-30. "We could do this as early as July,' Waller said. 'I think we've got room to bring it down, and then we can kind of see what happens with inflation,' he said, adding the central bank could pause if needed due to a shock from developments in the Middle East. One of his colleagues, San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly, is not on the same timetable. 'For me, I look more to the fall,' Daly said in a separate interview on CNBC. 'By then, we'll have quite a bit more information, and businesses are telling me that's what they're going to look to for some resolution.' Richmond Fed President Tom Barkin additionally told Reuters in an interview published Friday that he was not in any rush to cut due to concerns that tariffs could push inflation up and data showing the labor market remains resilient. That aligns with statements made by Powell. He noted last week that recent inflation reports have been favorable, but that goods prices have been moving up following the introduction of new tariffs and there could be more of that this summer. "We're beginning to see some effects, and we do expect to see more of them over the coming months." Thus, the right thing to do for now, he added, is 'hold where we are' on rates.
