Tucker Carlson claims that U.S. leaders have tanked our “standard of living” because he was able to buy $400 worth of food in a Russian grocery store with only 104 U.S. dollars.
IN FACT, the average standard of living in the U.S. is roughly 2.4 times higher than in Russia. Tucker can buy a boatload of groceries in Russia with $104 because U.S. dollars have far greater purchasing power than Russian rubles.
