Your Questions, Answered
As journalists, we ask questions for a living. And we strive to make sure our work addresses the pressing ones on readers' minds, especially in this time of dizzying political news. That's why we regularly invite the audience of The Morning to send us their questions, and have our expert beat reporters respond. Today, we're addressing your queries about immigration, military spending, Social Security, Medicaid and whether now is a good time to build a house. (Got a question for us? Submit them here.) ICE raids With the raids on undocumented immigrants going on, targeting the people who work in the fields and the slaughterhouses, how have these actions affected the supply and prices in our grocery stores? — Anna Halbrook, Otis, Ore. We asked Julie Creswell, who covers the food industry, to field this one: We haven't seen any obvious fallout from immigration raids on grocery prices yet. As of the end of May, prices were up about 2.2 percent compared with a year earlier. Eggs, coffee and meats — ground beef in particular — drove that increase. But beef prices were climbing even before the raids, because of droughts and high interest rates (ranchers take out loans to run their operations). The nation's cattle inventory is at its lowest level since the 1950s. Prices of fruits and vegetables have stayed about flat over the past year; tomatoes and lettuce are actually much cheaper right now. Defense spending Trump has pushed NATO countries to spend 5 percent of their economic output on the military. How much of its economic output does the U.S. spend on the military? — Diann Ebersole, Copperopolis, Calif. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
