...Mograbi's complete about-face with respect to Sharon, Mograbi in real life still abhors the man and his politics. In a statement released about the film, Mograbi notes with some regret that this film may give Sharon "a free ride into the hearts of some who have a monstrous image of him."

Why? Adjusting the index would lead to smaller future increases in benefits (including Social Security) tied to the CPI. Monstrous! To the barricades...
