The Soaring Price Of Beef
This is happening just as more science is showing how essential beef is for human health. It is not the only good meat but it contains the most of what we need for health, weight control, energy, building muscle, and organ strength. There is growing market demand for everything from ground beef to steaks.
You have doubtless seen the price of beef at the store. It is shocking, outrageous really, ticking up higher and higher each week. When all this began four years ago, many people assumed that prices would settle back down after the crisis ended. That has not happened. The problem is getting worse, not better.
This could become a huge problem for the Trump administration. If inflation in food prices and beef in particular keep going like this, there is a genuine risk to the presidency and the entire Republican Party. People who are not actually very political tend to judge the party in power by how much they have to spend at the grocery. If they find themselves switching from beef to rice and beans, they will blame the ruling party regardless.
This is how they save the entitlement programs. You dead you can’t collect.
I’ve watched our YY strip steaks at Costco go from $9.99 to $13.99 in the last year. Or less. Similar increases in all beef products. Australian lam chops have gone from $5.99 to $7.99
In absolute dollars and cents, not too big of a deal. Until you do the math – percentage increase of 40%. Unless than a year…glad I stacked when I stacked
