    I've just realised - they don't know the price of milk... but what drew Toby into his campaign was when, as Governor, Jed straight up said he had hosed the dairy farmers in order to not make it harder for poor people to buy milk...

    Josh really never learned that the other branches of the US Government were *equal* to the executive through the show. It blew up badly in his face several times in the way he essentially looked to dictate to Congressional Democrats how things were going to be and expected to be obeyed, that they are a supporting act who should be grateful to serve at the pleasure of the President.
    It bit him in the ass on a few occasions just like here. Once so much so he almost got fired and did get sidelined for a while, but he never really learned the humility and that he had to sit at the tables with them as if they were equals to the President at this moment in time. He always shoved his foot into his mouth and then had to be dragged back by Leo, he could have been so much more effective if he had just matured a little...

    I've never understood the whole "price of milk" or knowing "how much does a loaf of bread cost" thing. I understand very poor families who are really having to scrape by and save every penny they can, they will have been going over their costs with a magnifying glass and weighing up every choice. but for everyone else, they're necessities. you need them. at some point long in the past, you found one you liked at a good price and you've bought it ever since. you don't look at the price label or notice it on the receipt. it costs what it costs

      This scene is absolutely a reference to Bush. Truth be told, the economy wasn't terrible in 1992. But people were worried and Bush seemed to be out of touch, and both Clinton and Perot capitalized on the public anxiety.

      It's less that they don't buy milk, it's just that none of them really have to pay attention to the price because it's never relevant to them. If they want milk they can all comfortably buy milk, they don't have to read the price tag.
      I don't know the price of all the stuff I buy. It's not gonna change what I'm getting, so I just pay whatever my total comes to. It's people on a much tighter budget who don't have that luxury.

      To affluent middle-class purchasers, even ones who do their own shopping, milk and other staples are just small items in the trolley. I have a vague idea of the price RANGE of a carton of milk, but knowing exactly isn't relevant to me, because I can always afford it. On a low income, the exact price of goods like that is vital knowledge.

      The first really important decision that a president makes is who will be his vice president. Obama pick Biden. Biden became president and guided the US through the worst health crisis since 1913. Biden picked Kamilla Harris. Harris took over a campaign halfway through. She changed the focus reverse the polls and has thrown the Republican party into complete disarray. Donald Trump picked Mike Pence. Trump said pence was disloyal, low IQ and too honest. THEN he picked JD Vance if that still his name. Of the four names that he's had this is the least popular so he might change it again. Vance is rumored to have had intimate relationships with a couch, and is considered the worst vice presidential pick in the history of the United States.
