STEVE FORBES: Chuck Schumer has a beef with beef, but doesn’t even know how to grill it
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer faces criticism for proposing the 'Family Grocer and Farmer Relief Act' amid rising beef prices. The article argues high prices result from supply and demand dynamics, including a 9% decline in U.S. cattle inventory since 2019, drought, and increased production costs, not price gouging. Beef packers reported losses in 2025, contradicting claims of monopolistic profits.
