1:19 How can you make $150,000 and be food insecure? どうして15万ドルも稼いでいて、なおかつ食料に困ることがあるの？
I was surprised that about one in eight people in Connecticut rely on food banks. The woman in this video said that even though she and her husband earn $150,000 a year, they can’t afford to live comfortably. I think earning $150,000 a year is enough for a family of five. This is due to the increase in prices. Has Trump’s policy affected this problem effectively?
