“Government cheese” was a surplus dairy product distributed in the 1980s after U.S. policies led to over a billion pounds of excess cheese, much of it stored in Missouri caves, which was then handed out through public assistance programs to reduce the stockpile. The origins of “government cheese” go back to federal agricultural policies in the 1970s, when the U.S. government set price guarantees for milk to support dairy farmers. As production rapidly outpaced demand, the government was forced to buy up the surplus in the form of butter, powdered milk, and cheese, eventually creating massive stockpiles. By the early 1980s, federal reserves included more than 500 million pounds of cheese, much of it stored in limestone caves near Springfield, Missouri, where naturally cool conditions allowed for long-term preservation. In 1981, the Reagan administration began releasing the surplus through food banks, schools, Native American reservations, and low-income households, making it a recognizable part of daily life for many Americans during the recession and a lasting symbol of federal aid. The scale of the surplus became so large that storage alone cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, with the government spending around $2 million each week just to maintain the excess dairy supply.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America. Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined. Write that down. 🦋

What’s better than a rare Super Delta formation featuring the Thunderbirds and the @USNavy Blue Angels over Washington, D.C.? Watching it from four different views for #UFCWhiteHouse as part of #Freedom250. 🇺🇸
