Postal Increase

[jcgoldner]

That's not the way it went down Clay. It was not a bidding war. USPS decided not to renew the contract and the team had to find a new title sponsor. If the USPS wanted the team they could have keep it. They were not beat out by a higher number.

I think if you compare the rate of inflation to the rate the postage has gone up it hasn't been that much. I need a graph that compares the increase in price of bread compared to increase in price of stamps.

I would agree with you on that point.

Shoot if that were the case it would cost like $2 to send a dang letter today.

That's true! They made money last year so it had nothing to do with it! That's the strange part.

I agree! It's one of the best deals we have out there. IMHO, if the USPS ever went private the price would probably double.
