Bessent explains. It's the illegals. Those brown people are bringing their cattle into Shinyland, and infecting our cattle with screw worm.

Video of him saying that at the link.

And there’s also, because of the mass immigration, a disease that had been — we’ve been rid of in North America made its way up through South America, you know, as these migrants brought some of their cattle with them. So part of the problem is we’ve had to shut the border to Mexican beef because of this disease called the screw worm. So we’re not going to let that get into our supply chain. And, again, I don’t want to focus on one product. It’s a very important product. And if we are laser-focused on this product

Does Bessent always talk so haltingly, or only when he is trying to spout Trumpian talking points?

steve,

screwworm is a huge and scary problem. You're minimizing it. It did come from south of the border, no doubt about that.

Also what does "JC" mean, you use that a lot, can you enlighten me? Ty.

Yes, it is.

Lord Trump wanted to bring in large amounts of beef from Argentina.

What I am laffing at is Bessent saying illegals are bringing their cattle over the border.

Was beef cheap the day before Trump came to office?

I love burgers.

I love steaks.

They weren't cheap before.

Either way, glad it is profitable. The beef, the methane, all of it....shoot up into the sky all you can.

The meatless tyrants can shove a tubesteak in their bum bums.

I love burgers.

What got that discussion started was a comment by the CEO of Omaha Steak that hamburger is going to be $10/lb in a year.

Steve 203,

Omaha Steak is a huge ripoff.
