USPS Rates Increase

[slcraiders]

In case you were not aware, postage rates will take another upward hike on May 14th. The rate increase is pretty much across the board from stamps on up... ...the standard (less than 1 lb.) Priority Rate we are accustomed to is going up .55 cents to $4.60

I read about this about a week ago. They are also making a stamp called a forever stamp or something. The stamp will cost the same as a regular stamp at the time of the increase but if stamps ever go up again that stamp will still be good. So you will pay somethign like 46 cents for the stamp but if they increase again to say 50 cents a stamp, you will still be able to use that 46 cent stamp and not pay the difference of the increase.

Because they have spies that plot against us.

You know USPS is a government corporation that already turns a profit. They are NOT losing money or anything. Why do they need to do this? I still love them and trust them more than any other carrier, but this still sucks.
