The USAID screwworm program was a $10 million preventive wall that kept a billion-dollar problem on the other side of the border. Not charity, cheap self-defense. One case confirmed in Texas in 60 years and suddenly we're looking at $1.8 billion in livestock losses, labor costs, and a beef shortage that'll spike prices even higher. Trump admin and DOGE cut the monitoring funding. Agriculture Secretary blames Biden instead of offering a solution to the disaster they created. Kill a cow in less than two weeks. Treatment is all manual extraction of larvae and disinfection. Ranchers don't even have experience with it anymore because the program actually worked. This is what happens when ideology gets a chainsaw and nobody bothers to ask if the cuts hurt you too.
