Are America’s Political Elites Out of Touch with Reality? | Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson uses California’s $114 million "Butterfly Bridge" as a case study for a national crisis: the disconnect between the ruling class and reality. While our ancestors built the Golden Gate Bridge during the Great Depression, today’s "out of touch elites" spend years and millions on failed vanity projects while major infrastructure improvements sit stalled. Hanson explores how affluence and a "false sense of utopia" have blinded modern leaders to the needs of the average citizen.
