Members of Congress are being urged to investigate President Donald Trump’s plan to import hundreds of thousands of metric tons of foreign beef in a bid to lower grocery store costs, amid growing frustration from farm-state lawmakers and the nation’s embattled ranchers at the proposal.
Under the plan, the administration would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of lean beef trimmings into the U.S. tariff-free from a still-unspecified source country for a 90-day period beginning September 1—which Trump said would then be sold “at 25 percent below current market prices."
“Congress needs to have an emergency hearing on this,” John Boyd, founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, said in response to the proposal, which the president said would “reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”
You hired representatives that refuse to question or investigate Trump. You’ll keep getting fucked until you start voting Democrat.
You will keep getting fucked until you vote for people who aren’t out to fuck you. Democrats are not excluded.
Ok, so nothing in the near term will help at all. Thanks for the input.
For intelligent people, one thing being better than the other is still better. I don’t like the two party system either but it’s not going to change by us continuing to refuse to participate.
