Biden’s War on Farmers
Is the Biden administration hellbent on destroying America’s food-producing capabilities and making food increasingly unaffordable for the average American family? A reality check of federal policies points directly toward that inescapable conclusion.
First off, the Bidenflation caused by Biden’s multi-trillion-dollar spendathon has driven the creation of new money to pay for the programs and has sent grocery and other prices through the roof. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, from April 2021 to April 2022, U.S. food prices increased 10.8 percent, the largest 12-month increase in 42 years. Even worse have been the price hikes for sources of protein: prices for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs increased 14.3 percent. However, as painful as those prices are already, a raft of Biden administration policies aimed at our agricultural sector is clobbering American farmers and putting food production at risk. While Biden’s fiscal policies and anti-fossil fuel policies are devasting our entire national economy, including agriculture, the administration has specifically singled out farmers and ranchers for heavy-handed treatment from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Energy.
