Economy Egg prices plunge $2, now lower than when Trump took office

[F1980]

Prices have finally started to stabilize. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins goes more into detail in this article

MSN

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told reporters Tuesday morning that egg prices have dropped by nearly $2 since the Trump administration initiated its biosafety strategy for combatting H5N1 bird flu, which has decimated the poultry industry in recent months.

Seems like Trump is just continuing Bidens USDA policy:

In bird flu fight, Agriculture Department almost doubling the $1.1 billion already spent

As bird flu continues to spread, impacting poultry farms and the price of eggs, the Agriculture Department says it's almost doubling the amount spent to combat it.

Inflation and gas were also down for good measure.

To be fair, it is genuinely a continuation of Biden's policy. That is a valid statement HOWEVER, Trump did what he said and that is a great change of pace. Good on the president

Right, admission on who was to blame for them being high in the first place despite all the arguing in the threads celebrating them being high lol

This card will be played when the Big Beautiful Bill passes, tariffs are adjusted to, and the economy and Wall Street starts humming again.

They’ll say “well, it’s Biden’s economy” even though they are already blowing their wad on a few bad days to give the economy entirely to Trump.

2025 projected USDA spending on bird flu will nearly match 2024's. So egg prices will still be volatile.

All it took was the president and his administration not ordering the genocide of millions of hens prior to the new president coming in

 

[Mr Holmes]

@44nutman you can go back to your hardboiled eggs. Just make sure to give dump all the credit.

 

[KaNesDeath]

Good on the president

Cynical response relates to free markets. Federal government is bailing out poultry farmers. Can go further cynical with the anti-vaxxers. For the USDA allocated 100 million to find a vaccine.

So wheres the MAGA talking points of limited government and herd immunity?

Hmm.

I hope they didn't risk yet worse avian flu epidemics for the sake of egg prices?

Culls to get rid of diseases are kinda commonly accepted.

Dunno enough about this developing story to know if a risk has been taken or not.
