Beef Industry: U.S. May Need Strategic Hamburger Reserve after Obama EPA Implements New Regulations Thursday, October 07, 2010 By Chris Neefus
Washington (CNSNews.com) According to a representative of the cattle and beef industry, America may need a strategic hamburger reserve if the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) implements proposed new reguilations for cattle producers.
From where I sit, (the Obama administration) appears to be aimed at destroying the cattle industry in America as we know it, Tamara Thies, the chief environmental counsel at the National Cattlemens Beef Association, said on Capitol Hill last week.
It is ironic that as we work to become less dependent on foreign oil, Obama policies are likely to make us more dependent on foreign beef. Maybe well need to start a strategic hamburger reserve after the Obama administration is finished with us.
Thies' comments came at a hearing conducted by the House Republicans Rural America Solutions Group about the EPAs proposed regulations on the industry, which include the toughest dust regulations in history one which would significantly impact the rural economy by imposing steep fines on cattle producers who, Thies said, most likely cannot afford them.
It is unlikely these realities are lost on the EPA, making one wonder if the real goal of the agency is to do away altogether with economic activity throughout the bread basket of this country and turn it into a vast national park, she added.

The UN wants us all off beef/meat. The UN FAO plan a world congress in 2013 to further discuss this and policy on insects as the new meat.
It’s all a move to some type of world gov’t/policy sorta deal.
Something will need to give, we can’t let this non-sense come to pass.
Amen.
More usurpations...More intolerable tyranny.
Tar, feathers, rail! Out!
Earlier today I read through some of the mailers from the local supermarkets of what they had on sale this coming week. I then was out doing chores, and reflected on the fact so many prices are rising, and so many are rising on products influenced by cereal, or by say corn as feed.
It occured to me as I was proceeding with my chores that butter, cream, cereals, and meats that are raised on the grasses, and the corn of all sorts were rising in price. I noted last time I was at Costco in Corona the price of butter had nearly doubled since we purchased the time prior.
My mind wandered even more thinking about how the Left, the Liberals have seemingly forever tried to push our society off of meat, and to vegetarian diets, and I thought about this current radical infested culture that somehow was voted into our government, and it just seems to me that too many results are happening along the lines of the radical projections we have been subjugated over the years.
They appear to be winning. Not cool.
Fiddling with food supply is no way to make friends.
the EPA's proposed regulations on the industry, which include the toughest dust regulations in history
If the EPA is able to pass this ‘dust control’ legislation, the cost of beef, pork, and crops will most certainly rise. This is certainly going to create financial burdens on already hurting farmers - if they can even afford the penalties and costs involved with complying.
Quite a few middle class, retired women in very sparsely populated rural developments on the Rocky Mountains are wanting their roads paved now, and they want the ranchers to pay for it. They hate “males,” and ranchers personify the “arrogant,” masculine men they hate the most (unlike their effeminate, little “partners” from their suburbs of origin). Many of those kinds of city people have recently moved from coastal suburbs and have already begun to clash with the ranchers.
They know what is better for you and if you can’t accept that then they will just force it on you. Watch out.
You’re right, the EPA/Obama is destroying other types of businesses. They implemented the lead paint rules that affect tens of millions of homes in the country.
This dust nonsense doesn’t just affect ranchers in rural areas. It’s used to shut down any construction they don’t want. I know it’s causing major headaches at a large airport. As with the McDonald’s health care deal, the right people can get a waiver. And as long as they play ball, they can keep their waiver.
Can’t disagree, but if enough people keep the spirit of freedom alive, we may become free again as our forefathers were.
Even if the United States did switch to eating insects, within 5 years the Obama types would be bent out of shape when Wal-Mart, McDonalds and Halliburton mass produce the meatiest, juiciest, most oversize grub worms at the expense of the locally grown organically produced ma and pa insect stand down the street.
Save us some Diet Coke too!
These are the things zero does to placate his base. It’s no skin off his nose. As one of the beautiful people, he can get whatever he wants to eat whenever, no matter what it costs. He needs to stay in power in order to enact what he wants - reparations - and he couldn’t care less about the cattle industry. He’s just keeping his base happy in order to stay in power.
When are people going to drop the assumption that this beast and his knuckle-dragging mate in the WH have the best interests of Americans at heart? They do not.
The Kenyan Clown is destroying our country.
