So much for the party of "fiscal responsibility." All the loony RW pundits can miss me with their fake outrage about "democrat spending" next election cycle. Now we know the truth: in reality they don't give one single fuck about it.
 
I will say that my expensive “whole animal” butchery in Saxapahaw has been holding prices stable for a long while.

Beef and lamb are grass-fed and the pigs sure tear up a small amount of forest and are moved on so that the land can recover. So, their food in-put costs haven’t increased. Labor has.

Someone show me where beef prices came down. Bought a 2.5 lb. chuck roast last week for $46. Forty-six fucking dollars. Two years ago that same cut cost me $25 tops.

On a related note, I just bought one pack of (6) hot dogs for $11.49 so my kids could have a quick, easy weeknight meal. $11.49. Same hot dogs used to run around $6. Last year they jumped up to $9. Now $11. Where does it fucking end?

This buffoon administration, and its fluffers like Bessent and this Hassett loony, can all go kick rocks. I can't fucking wait for MAGA to shrivel up and die.
 
The cattle business is tough. You pay $1800 for a calf, feed it for six months, then sell it for $3000. You lose a few calves to illness or injury. You have to produce your own feed- hay and silage- to turn a profit. Machinery, labor, fertilizer, diesel are all going higher faster than than the price you get from the processor. Drought in Texas has contributed to the problem by reducing the size of breeding herds which drives up the cost of calves. It’s a tough way to make a living.

I doubt the cattle "growers" are seeing much of the new profit

It's a lie. Ground beef is still double the price it was a few years ago.

I used to buy a whole filet for around $100 it's over $225 now.
