And you can't remove the aging and sedentary population, so those costs will continue to rise.
The world leaders are hiding inflation costs as much as possible, but this can't/won't last.

I don't understand. You asked why government budgets were increasing faster than inflation, I explained why I think that this is the case. you said "not true," then gave two examples which support my argument: cuts to another budget line item even while overall spending is increasing, and agreement that the costs associated with an aging and sedentary population are increasing inexorably.
