Agriculture secretary talks herself in circles over egg prices [View all]
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said all kinds of questionable things about the record high egg prices during an interview with Fox Business on Wednesday.
“President Trump, in the last few years as he was making his case to be reelected for the third time for the 47th presidency, talked about really lots of different issues, but his top two were border security and the cost of groceries and food inflation,” Rollins said to host Stuart Varney.
Rollins then credited decreases in wholesale egg costs since February to Donald Trump’s “big, bold plan” without giving any details and ignoring the fact that the drop is largely due to a slowdown in bird flu outbreaks, which has severely impacted poultry production. The avian flu has been one of the main drivers of egg prices, and coupled with decreased consumer demand because of cost, prices have dipped in recent weeks, though they remain at historic levels.
She says all of this just one day after the United States Department of Agriculture predicted that egg prices would climb nearly 58% this year. Just sayin’.
