Sen Bayh - It's not Just Perception

In today's NY Times, Indiana Senator Evan Bayh (D) was commenting on the close Senate race in Massachusetts.

When ask if the tight race is reflective of a more serious threat to Democrats, Bayh commented "I do think there's a chance that Congressional elites mistook their mandate," Mr. Bayh said. "I don't think the American people last year voted for higher taxes, higher deficits and a more intrusive government. But there's a perception that that is what they are getting."

Mr. Bayh, last time I checked US taxes are higher, the deficit is higher, and gov't is intruding on personal decisions such as health care. Perhaps the word 'reality' is a better choice of words than 'perception'.
