$46 for a 3lb pot roast in Publix today … greed under the guise of inflation is real… this economy sucks and everyone not at the top knows it

Who is greedy? Many ranchers are hurting. Its a supply/demand and input issue.

Beef imports from Brazil are WAYYYY down. Tripling imports from Argentina won't come close to making up the shortfall just from Brazil

Additionally, feeder cattle to US feedlots are NOT being imported due to disease ravaging their herds.

We are short about 10% of market demand.

Argentina imports tripling isn't going to get us to 5% short.

South American grass fed beef is like eating shoe leather.

Ranching and cattle industry does not equal beef industry. Also there is no quick fix on growing the herd size. A cows gestation period is longer than a woman's.

Ok, thx.

It isn’t… supply is there, processor and shipping driving up costs

Bruh, this guy kisses the wall and was there again this week.

So you are in favor of subsidies, uninspected food,(less than one percent of the food coming into the country is inspected)and supporting countries outside of the United States?

Tariffs are working as our trade deficit is down significantly compared to past administrations.

Prices are down on somethings but up on others. Historically prices rarely come once they achieve a certain price (exceptions are things like Gas)

Housing is an issue but is more a reflection of wages not keeping up with inflation

Trump doesn’t control intrest rates. Rates were kept artificially low for year under Obama which has partially led to lots of the issues we have now. The fed has mismanaged rads for sure and they should be at least .50 lower than they are right HR now.

Farmers have always struggled and needed subsidies to survive.

Epstein, please if there was ANYTHING there you damn well know it would have come out during his 1st term or during Biden’s term. The fact it didn’t should tell you everything.

Spending is out of control but when when you have the other side fighting tooth and nail against things like DOGE and cutting parts of government we don’t need then what do you expect. Trump has made more progress here than any other administration.

Ukraine is what it is. Trump is trying to end it. Zelenskyy is being unreasonable. He needs to accept he’s going to lose some land and end it.

Argentina? Really. We need a strong ally down there, especially if we plan to take out the Narcos.

Massey is a RINO and part of the issue. If the GOP would stick together and stop sabotaging everything we might get some things done.

Owned by Israel how. Because they are an ally and they were attacked and we are helping them?

Which can picks have underperformed? It’s only been 9 months. Most haven’t been in the job that long. Tons accomplished in a short time

The ballroom again? We have needed it for at least 60+ years. Having to hold state dinners and functions in tents is just dumb. Zero taxpayer money used unlike past renovations. Not sure where the idea came from that these building should never be changed ever. They need to constantly be updated to keep up with the times. Also modernization also allows for security upgrades. It will be a welcome upgrade and long overdue. People are waxing poetic but fail to remember the entire Whitehouse was gutted in the 50’s except for the outside walls. There is very little left of the original structure.
