Find a U. S. Representative or U. S. Senator (from any state). With your chosen person, you need to research a policy they are advocating for (for example, AOC and the new green deal). You need to look at this through the lens of Thomas Sowell. Explain why their policy is "catfishing". Why does their policy look "good on paper" but in reality would be disaster? I do not care if you agree with the policy. I want you to play devils advocate and think about it critically. Use facts to support your answer.
