If Trump really wanted to lower beef prices he would support Massie’s PRIME Act which allows individual states to permit local custom slaughterhouses to sell individual cuts of meat directly to consumers, restaurants, and grocery stores within that same state. But instead the Big Four major meat processors in America control over 85% of the market and consequently the cost of processing meat is high. But with Massie’s PRIME Act, small processors would be allowed to compete and would drive down costs. It would also help smaller meat producers to sell their beef to local markets.
And we need Country of Origin labeling for foreign imported and foreign processed meats. Americans deserve to know where the meat they are buying to feed themselves and their families is coming from, and we have the right to reject it based on its country of origin.
Both of these I cosponsored and are Republican sponsored bills, why won’t the Republican controlled Congress pass these bills?
Why won’t the Republican elected President support these legislations which are America First?
The answer is the Big Four meat processors and their well paid lobbyists roam the halls of congress and get to go to meetings and fundraisers at the White House and YOU don’t!
Republicans keep harping about communism destroying the US.
My brothers in Christ, we are over $40 Trillion in debt.
You and the Democrats are already doing a bang up job at destroying the US.
Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.
$4,000 per year per American.
That’s how much interest we are paying on the debt to banks & foreign countries every year.
A family of four owes $16,000 per year for nothing but interest on the debt!
I lost my re-election because I voted against the policies that caused this.
In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.
People rejected this.
We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.
The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.
Israel bombed a seaside café in Gaza yesterday, killing 7 people, including a child. One person's body was so shredded they couldn't be identified. The force of the explosion was so intense that people were hurled into the sea. And most of the international media just shrugs.
“Our village has turned into a prison.”
Raids, arbitrary detentions and constant fear now mark the daily lives of thousands of Lebanese under Israeli occupation.
While the Israeli army has razed Shia villages to the ground, it has allowed a handful of Christian and Sunni villages to remain inside the area it occupies, under strict rules that legal experts say violate international law.
We visited one of these villages, Kfarchouba.
