Price of Beef Rose 35% Under Obama

If Republicans want to start winning a national election, they need to worry less about the convention site, and more about learning to communicate with working Americans. This is the sort of thing that Reagan did well. That even Bush II did reasonably well. But that the party now seems to have entirely forgotten how to do.

If you’re going to Cleveland, talk about the price of beef.
The increases since June 2009 are: Beef and veal: +35.2%, Pork: +27%, Fish and seafood: +20.1%, Eggs: +33.1%, Dairy: +16.1%, Fresh Fruits: +13.8%.

At the same time, Average Hourly Earnings have increased by 10.1%.

The net effect is a severe downgrade of lifestyle. It means that meat becomes less affordable for more families.

  9. 8:48 Obviously, if you can't eat certain meat, due to a medical condition... ok. But, for everyone else, meat is perfectly fine.

    Since, I guess, you're a vegetarian, or vegan... why is it you guys look completely unhealthy? Sunken and dark eyes, skin looks blotchy, or stained. Typical problems with BM's.

    I would support someone saying a raw diet is good, but that includes meats... all veggies and grains... not so much.

    If it works for you, great... but, please don't make blanket statements that meat is evil.
