Tom Emmer Went on Fox Business and Said Ground Beef Costs 'Less Than $2 a Pound.' It Has Not Been That Cheap Since July 2003.
The third-ranking Republican in the House told Fox Business that Republicans should talk up groceries that have gotten cheaper, and named ground beef at under $2 a pound. The Bureau of Labor Statistics puts it at $6.92 — and the last month it averaged under $2 was July 2003.
