Sean Duffy and his family took a super duper ultra cool road trip, and they want you to know all about it. In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding, the transportation secretary, his Fox News-host wife, and their nine children spent seven months filming a reality TV show — The Great American Road Trip — to promote America’s great landmarks.

First and foremost: road trips are great. No TSA, no limits on snacks and drinks, you can stop as often as you want and detour to wherever strikes your interest. In theory, they are also a much cheaper form of travel than flying. They haven’t been so cheap since the president decided to go to war in Iran, however, setting off a chain of crises that has resulted in skyrocketing gas prices throughout the country.

Last week, the Department of Transportation released the first trailer for the Duffys’ odyssey, and boy does it look lavish. The family of 11 is shown riding in style in new model SUVs provided by Toyota — official vehicle partner of the show — lounging in bathrobes in hotels, snowmobiling, and even screaming down water slides on a Royal Caribbean cruise (another partner of the project).

The trailer was met with widespread public backlash, with critics calling the seven-month production not only out of touch given the high costs currently hitting American travelers, but a potentially unethical misuse of federal resources. Duffy, who thinks people shouldn’t fly in comfy clothing because it’s uncivilized, is encouraging Americans to drive this summer, and get to know their country. “We’re encouraging everyone to go take a road trip to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary,” he says in the trailer, adding later to Fox News that a road trip “fits any budget.”

Show me the road trip that fits a $0 budget.
