Take that problem up with the Nancy Woman, Hairy Reed, or Obama bin Laden, OK!
You don't give up, do you? I am perfectly aware that there has been inflation. But in other areas where there have been cost savings (air travel, electronics) things haven't increased at the same rate as general inflation. I bought my first RT air ticket in 1969 from Hartford to Miami. It cost me $150. This weekend I am in the middle of a similar RT flight from Newark to Palm Beach. It cost $230 dollars. Your first class stamp in that same time has gone from five cents (I think it had already gone from four to five) for virtually any one ounce envelope to 41 cents for only a subset of one ounce envelopes. (and more next week) You would think some of those lower air costs might be reflected in postage rates too. But no, the government NEVER lowers the cost for anything.
