This is something that even the leftist sheeple can't pretend isn't happening (as they do about so much else). Talking to a center-leftist the other day and he's screaming about the FNM trying to say inflation is only six or seven percent. "My groceries have doubled or tripled!! F$@#ing seven percent?!! That's BS!!". I just said "Yup. They lie about everything." Apparently it's not so easy to pretend reality doesn't exist when it's directly affecting them.
