    I've seen a lot of Trump defenders go on and on about how they are seeing lower prices at the stores now under Trump, compared to Biden.


    Beef prices climb to record highs in US

    According to U.S. government data, the average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago.

    OMAHA, Neb. — Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburger patties and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.

    And experts say consumers shouldn't expect much relief soon either.

    The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

    most people expect the Fed to cut rates in the next FOMC meeting in Sept, but not so fast

    here are 3 reasons---inflation inducing---that there may be no cuts this year

    1. 90+ days after liberation, still no trade deals of significance, adding more uncertainty
    2. [Big beautiful bill] sponsored by the Tangerine Musolini adds 6 trillion dollars in debt
