Digesting the truth.

Inflation denial meets Main Street reality.

The Orange blob waddling through the hideously ornate rooms in the once demure White House may say there is no inflation.

Add that lie to the extensive laundry list of bold lies.

Maybe in Washington they are shopping at some mythical supermarket where eggs are still a buck a dozen and bread comes free when your receipt has a gold star at the top.

Out here on Main Street, the story is a simpler, ugly truth.

One hundred dollars now buys two bags of groceries and if you are lucky, one of them is not just paper goods.

Restaurants feel it, too. Fine dining establishments report that reservations are down 27% this summer, neighborhood spots appear half-full and even your favorite diner looks nervous about raising prices again.

The date night steak now costs as much as a weekend getaway.

Meanwhile, the golden arches and drive-thrus are jammed. Not because people suddenly prefer food that comes in a bag with a toy, but because value menus are now the unofficial national food subsidy. The family that once lingered over pasta and sushi now eats in the parking lot balancing burgers on the dashboard.

Hey Bobby Kennedy, Jr. why not speak up about inflation instead of focusing on vaccines that keep Americans immune to disease. People need to consume nutritious food to be healthy. Many cannot afford nutrient-rich foods so they resort to fast food which leads to obesity, diabetes and other related issues. Why silent on the subject? No inflation conspiracies to spin.

In reality, the only inflation index that matters is fewer bags at checkout, more empty tables at restaurants, leading to traffic jams at Taco Bell.

Politicians can juggle their charts and pat each other on the back, but Main Street already knows the bottom line reality.

It costs more to live on less.

One can only hope that eventually voters will wake up to the harsh reality of this destructive regime.

In the interim, can you spell inflation, recession and depression?!
