Big Blitz Posted July 17 Posted July 17 12 minutes ago, Trump_is_Mentally_fit said: Most significant factor for cost of beef: Lowest supply of cattle in 70 years has been the driving factor among others. The trend for beef the last 4 years has been spiking - and check beef prices now vs April 1. As of March 2025, beef prices in the United States are experiencing significant increases, driven by a combination of supply constraints and robust demand. Supply Constraints The U.S. cattle inventory has declined to its lowest level since 1951, with 86.7 million head reported as of January 1, 2025, marking a 1% decrease from the previous year. https://ritterfoods.com/beef-prices-in-2025-record-highs-supply-shortages-and-whats-next-for-the-industry/#:~:text=nypost.com,$186 in the prior year. "The main factors for our higher beef prices this year are driven by supply, demand and financial elements like higher interest rates," said Paul Savage, director of commodities forecasting at Chicago-based ArrowStream, which provides supply chain technology to restaurants. A key driver behind the rising prices is the shrinking cattle population. The national herd has declined to 86.7 million head, the lowest since 1951, according to the AFBF. Prolonged droughts in cattle-producing states like Texas, Kansas and Nebraska have devastated grazing pastures, forcing many farmers to cull their herds. At the same time, rising tariffs and ongoing trade disruptions have made cattle production more costly. Additionally, cases of the New World Screwworm – a parasitic fly whose maggots burrow into and feed on the flesh of cattle – halted imports from Mexico to the U.S., though the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said some ports could reopen soon. The U.S. gets most of its cattle imports from Mexico and Canada. "Potentially, lower interest rates [for farmers] would help and the recently announced changes to the SNAP program may also help lower prices," he said. "But it won't happen overnight." In the meantime, the U.S. is importing more beef from Australia, New Zealand and Brazil, Savage said, and limiting beef exports to other countries to help stabilize supply. Farmers are also growing bigger animals to offset the lower cattle harvest. https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/price-summer-grilling-staple-remains-record-high-beef-lovers-adapt.amp 1

For a President who ran on cutting inflation, this is bad news Good news for you Leftnuts (although not for me because I don't care): Beef contributes significantly to "global greenhouse carbon emissions." Now America's fatties can do what they normally do when beef prices go up -- consume more chicken, pork or pizza. And I'm sad that the Climate Change Cult is benefiting. But, you win some you lose some. Beef production accounts for a significant portion of the U.S.'s carbon emissions—8-10 times more than chicken and up to 50 times more than beans. Methane produced by cattle digestion is particularly harmful, as it traps more heat than carbon dioxide, accelerating climate change. “We’d hit one [food] that was like, 10 times more or 100 times more than anything else,” said Rose. “And invariably, that was beef.” The Environmental Impact of Beef Consumption 1

I think Trump is taking a massive gamble with some of his policies, namely his tariff policy, but that research does show the previous administration was heavily reliant of expanding government as a means of stimulating job growth. -3%, in the govt sector, seems like a very much needed correction… in the least.

No, Biden had great public sector job creation. Trump is the guy placing more taxes on the economy, by far. Not even close. Trump never learned you can't tax your way to prosperity. We are paying for that ignorance
