In this episode, Chris breaks down how out-of-touch that sounds to anyone who’s actually been to a grocery store lately. If $3 meals are truly realistic, then Congress should have no problem living by the same standard—starting with slashing their $92 daily meal per diem and trading luxury apartments for dorm-style living. From tone-deaf messaging to DC’s disconnect from everyday costs, this is a sharp look at how easily policymakers lose credibility when their math doesn’t match real life.
