Beef Prices Are Already Sky High. Now Comes Screwworm.
Summary
<div>
<p>Catherine Rampell and Jonathan Cohn give their takes on the return of the flesh-eating parasite screwworm. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has already blamed the Biden's border and immigration policies as a potential cause after saying in November that it was under control. But is that the full story? We examine whether DOGE-related staffing cuts and the broader erosion of international cooperation may have played a role in weakening surveillance and response systems. Plus, beef prices are already at record highs, and ranchers are warning of even more disruption ahead if the outbreak spreads, we explain the economic impacts this could have on farmers and consumers.</p><p>Stop putting off those doctors appointments and go to <a href="https://ZocDoc.com/BULWARKTAKES">https://ZocDoc.com/BULWARKTAKES</a> to find and instantly book a doctor you love today.</p></div>
