People are rightfully concerned. What I want to say is that 7% (somewhere in that region) of the total inflation goes to the Treasury. And it gives the impression that people are concerned 93% of the time about 7% of the potential sell pressure from inflation and only 7% of the time about the potential 93%.

If people were as concerned about reducing inflation as they were about Treasury spending, there might already have been enough community pressure to bring it down significantly and reduce sell pressure at a far greater extent.
