Is it possible for her to be this ignorant?
Well yes. If you live your life without pain, you natturaly don't think about it.
People tend to think that other people are in the same boat than them.
In my country in France, our president try to be compationate and say :
I know, it's hard for everyone to not have money. When I was in university I lived whith only 1000€
When I was in university, I lived with 400€ and I considered myself lucky to be this rich compared to other students.
Paid my home costed me 200€ and I have 200€ to eat each month, many of my friends only have 200€ or nothing and was working.
But I'm sure our president was sincere when he said he struggle with 1000€, that because he lived a better lived than is people.
Another French reference, when the french revolution start. That start because there is no food for people and the noble monopolize it. The people said that they didn't even have "bread", the cheaper food. Marie-Antoinette the queen respond "If there is no bread, eat brioche", at that time bun was a luxury food.
When the queen dowager said : "If your are an aristrocat you would display an indiference to money", that the point of view of someone who didn't have money problem. XD
For finish, yes there is a crack between the government and the people, that doesn't start yersterday.
