First-class stamp prices rise 1 penny to 42 cents Monday


First-class stamp prices rise 1 penny to 42 cents Monday:
"The cost of mailing a letter goes up a penny to 42 cents on Monday, the latest in what are expected to be annual price adjustments by the Postal Service."

A new law regulating the post office makes it easier to raise rates as long as the agency doesn't exceed the rate of inflation. Rates are to be adjusted each May.

And the libs want these folks to run our entire health care system?

Oh yeah..... there's this too.....

The increase comes just a week after the post office announced it had a loss of $700 million in the second quarter of the fiscal year, blamed largely on declining mail volume and rising fuel prices.
