Postage Going Up...

On May 14, 2007 the price of a stamp will rise to 41 cents. The government is working on a new "forever stamp" that you can purchase and it ensures you keep the same rate forever - wonder how that will work....

I believe its actually going up to 42 cents. The forever stamp only hold its value 'forever' for the stamps that you purchased at that time. Meaning, if you bought 1000 'forever' stamps at 42 cents and 2 years later the postal rate went up to 45 cents....your 42 cent forever stamp would still get your mail to its destination...or some shit like that, lol.

The Postal Service is the governments cash cow - they've been turning out huge record profits for years yet they keep squeezing more money from us...

How many stamps do you use per month? I use 1...unless there is something random that I might have to mail.

Most everything can be done online or by phone - I sure as hell don't write letters lol...

thats why they keep raising rates...they give fed employees about a billion dollars in retirment and 20 years and out and they wonder why their pay roll is ever expanding...I use online banking for all my bills and email.
