Beefflation 2025: When a Pound of Meat Out-Earns You
Ground beef now costs $6.12 a pound—almost an hour’s pay at minimum wage. But President Trump says we’re “winning.” If by winning, he means we can’t afford tacos without a payday loan, then yes—victory never tasted so overcooked.
Ground beef just hit $6.12 a pound, and it’s not even wagyu. Under President Trump’s economic “renaissance,” your dinner is now a status symbol, and your paycheck is just a punchline.
Minimum wage? Still $7.25.
Meaning: Your burger is nearly salaried.
We’re living in an America where a pound of meat nearly earns what you do in an hour. But don’t worry—President Trump says we’re winning. Just like he says ketchup is a vegetable and Truth Social is a global tech leader.
“The beef’s never been beefier. I did that. Nobody ever talks about the beef, folks.” — President Trump, probably
The Trump Beef Boom: Moo-ving in the Wrong Direction
While Trump hosts rallies promising economic miracles and threatening to “fire inflation,” the rest of us are in the supermarket playing Ground Beef Russian Roulette.
- “Do I buy the beef or fill my gas tank?”
- “Can I stretch one pound of 80/20 into five meals and a side hustle?”
- “Is tofu still socialism or can we eat it now?”
Welcome to Beefflation 2025™—where the only thing tenderized is your financial stability.
Cattle Supply Chains and Capitalist Chaos
Beef prices are up 12% year-over-year, thanks to:
- The lowest U.S. cattle inventory since 1951
- A delightful little pest called screwworm (no, not a cabinet appointee—yet)
- Skyrocketing feed and fuel costs
- And unchecked corporate greed that makes even Trump steaks seem affordable
Meanwhile, President Trump is too busy threatening tariffs on lettuce to notice we can’t afford tacos without a cosigner.
What President Trump Doesn’t Want You to Know
He claims we’re “winning.” But here’s what winning actually looks like in 2025:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1 Hour of Minimum Wage Labor | $7.25 |
| 1 Pound of Ground Beef | $6.12 |
| Basic Healthcare Co-Pay | $40 |
| Believing Trump’s Economy Works | Free with frontal lobotomy |
So unless your retirement plan includes cow adoption or going full carnivore influencer, we're not winning—we're wincing.
