Got milk? Yes, actually, U.S. has too much.politico ^

Some parts of the nation have seen localized spikes in milk prices. But most of the nation is facing an oversupply of milk — a challenge policy makers have been struggling to address.
Yes, food prices are up. But no, average U.S. milk prices aren't skyrocketing — they've basically stayed the same since January.
That's because the U.S. overall has an oversupply of milk, and it's gotten worse over the past few decades as smaller farms have shuttered and larger farms have bought up their livestock and increasingly dominated the industry.
It's been a problem that policymakers have been struggling to confront for years. And it's not clear that Washington, D.C., will address this issue because other food prices have been rising much more as a result of the pandemic-induced supply chain breakdowns. The Biden administration has pledged to address antitrust issues in industries ranging from technology to meatpacking. But so far, the dairy sector hasn't been the focus yet in part because consumers aren't seeing significantly higher prices as a result of consolidation.
A CNN report this week triggered a brief social media spectacle after it featured a family saying retail milk prices skyrocketed (up 79 cents a gallon over just a few weeks for that couple in the Dallas area who were interviewed and said their family consumes 12 gallons a week). In fact, the average price of milk nationally has largely stayed steady throughout the year, according to the Agriculture Department.
Overall, the U.S. has been making more milk than it can use. "The availability and supply of milk is not a concern, it's a concern about moving that milk to where it's needed," said Matt Herrick of the International Dairy Foods Association, one of the largest dairy lobby groups in the U.S.

I think with AOC's plan to tax dairy cows $6500 each, we won't have a problem reducing the use of milk in the country.

There should be a 10k tax on AOC every time she opens her big, stupid mouth exposing those dangly bucky beaver teeth.

Putting a head tax on ruminants is no solution to anything. The tax revenue thus raised will almost certainly be diverted to uses which do nothing whatsoever to deal with "greenhouse gases" but everything to do with funding "social justice", perhaps in part to fund the $450,000 each to be paid to the illegal immigrants who were separated parents from children. And of course to teach "Critical Race Theory" in our schools.
Now, as to the "excess" fluid milk, do as has always been done since the days of the "New Deal", make it into cheese, ice cream, yogurt, protein powder, or even butter. Then have the various levels of government buy these foodstuffs up and use it for feeding the poor and malnourished.

When the price of ice cream soars to $100.00 a pint, Nancy
Pelosi will proudly show off her freezer full of ice cream
to all those Americans who can't afford it. I guess steak
will only be affordable to Bill Gates, Nancy and all
of her very, very rich Democrat friends. Wonder if the nation
will still want more Democrats in power then?

And yet ice cream was downsized from a half-gallon. The milk fat in whole milk hovers at no more than 3.5%. Real unprocessed milk from a cow tastes nothing like the bland liquid sold as "milk".

I switched to Almond milk awhile ago.
Different to be sure, but it doesn't sour, keeps for a very long time.
Almonds don't emit flatulence. /s

If true, those animals will only be taxed once and then slaughtered.
Just like taxing all the super rich 100%. After that all their money will be gone.
But hey, why let those little things stand in the way of classic socialist/communist policies

My Almond milk carton says it has to be used within 10 days of opening.

Why do we need a policy. Let consumer enjoy the lower price. The market can handle it.

In self-defense, a lot of small producers should take a page from micro-brewers and go into boutique cheeses. The citified Dems will pay big bucks for it.
