Outright lies.
Note they don’t ask exactly where or what they are looking at to make this claim.
Most of my shopping was at Walmart in the groc. dept. I saw one price actually come down recently.
I just got the bill for my post office box.
Last year it was $120 for the year.
Now it is $190 per year. That’s pretty high rent for a half a cubic foot of space in a small town in flyover country.
In 2020 it was $80 per year. When I first rented it about 20 years ago it was $40 per year.
While there are other factors besides mere inflation (like corruption and mismanagement) in the price of a post office box, I bet these Treasury shylocks didn’t add this into their calculations.
I bet they didn’t include ‘The Big Guy’s 10% either.

Lies, lies, lies, lies and more lies.
More propaganda.
