The postal rates are going up again. So what else is new? Just raise the stupid rates and spare us the lame excuses of why you think you have to. The reason you have to raise the rates is so all your employess can get healthy pay raises and next to nothing health care benefits. Only the Post Office and Government can do that. Lose money year after year and still give pay raises to its workers. Any other company would be out of business long ago. How about instead of a rate increase somebody suggest a wage decrease? That would keep the stamps from going up.
