New paper price

Why does it make any sense to increase the price of the paper by $1? It makes sense because the vendors get a raise after 10 years. The paper has a cost and needs to keep publishing, and it’s greatly needed. Also, the prices of things in D.C. have skyrocketed. Eggs, milk, and all necessities a person needs have gone up astronomically. We can’t totally make a difference by increasing the paper, but it sure will help.
