Why would government services not be subject to the same cost pressures due to inflation as the rest of society?

Most of local and state gov expenditure is salaries (subject to inflation, particularly local housing) and financial support for low income residents (also tied to inflation and housing).

Because government is the reason for inflation.

The government should face a punishment for targeting constant inflation.
