Sorry, beef eating voters outnumber beef producing voters. Meet the underside of the bus, you patsies.

Realistically he's just going to give the large ranchers bailouts. Government spends like there's no tomorrow

Not to mention they've been getting literally double the price for their cattle for a while now.

The imported "beef":

It's actually tainted beef from Argentina that China rejected a few months ago. It's got an antibiotic in it that will give you cancer and/or aplastic anemia.

I know about the Nazi burgers, they'll probably cut it with horse meat though.

It's considered a delicacy in France, very popular with the Epstein Class.

The ranchers are just making noise so they get handouts. You can pretty well guarantee the large ranches will get massive bailouts, while the small ranchers are left hanging

Consumers will temporarily get cheaper beef, but we'll be paying the interest on that loan for a long time

Aren't you precious. The beef will cost importers less but they're going to sell it to consumers at the same price as domestic beef.

I like how the new line republicans use when people complain about the inevitable shit show that comes from having an incompetent government is basically "hey, you're just going to have to deal with us fucking up your life because our larger mission is to destroy liberalism, allow business to do whatever they want, and install a theocracy."

Lower prices, beef is out of control
