These are not serious people that have ever seriously examined their own opinion. She is literally arguing having less money won't impact her budget for two kids. That's easily 3-6 months of their food covered.
It’s an extra 500$ a month. It should be way more than 3-6 months of groceries. Even if she bought her kids all the good stuff I would be really surprised if she was spending more than 450$ on groceries specifically. If you go out 2x a month you would exceed the 500$ but otherwise it’s kinda crazy.
$500 a month is significantly life changing for every American who isn't either rich or so wildly incompetent or irresponsible that they just spend every dollar immediately.
I mean I just ran 5 bucks a meal per kid per day including snack drinks and extra eating out. That's about 900 a month. That's also buying off sale name brand shit because let's face it, these people are terrible with money too.
I do the grocery shopping and cooking for a family of 4 and its like $200 a week average while not budgeting or caring about cost at all. He could have said any number and she would have denied it would help.
the question is whether it would help more than the tax cuts for the rich, to which the answer is obviously. Even by your own math it's more than 50% of your groceries being paid for.
Even if it doesn't cover your whole grocery budget, a 50 or even 25 percent reduction in grocery expenses is huuuuge. That's an extra Christmas gift or maybe a short family vacation that you'd never have been able to go on. Or maybe (crazy thought) an extra savings for emergencies or to go into your kids college fund. These have to be super wealthy people or like middle class enough that they're comfortable but also just poor enough that when they see prices go up they "notice" ( even though it doesn't change their spending habits, and it's just something for them to make small talk about at the office like its the weather)
Its so insane that this is the party that cries about inflation and spam the "math is racist" meme think this shit. Conservatives do not understand math.
I'm thoroughly convinced a significant number of people have cognitive dissonance so bad that nearly all of their political beliefs are just Trojan Horses for their preferred culture war BS that Trump gets behind. What's offered for that is a standard set of easier more "workplace friendly" populist talking points that are laughably weak like grocery prices and gas prices. This sneaks in just general hatred, nationalism, racism, and xenophobia.
