Yes, you make a good point--the USPS has raised rates slower than inflation, so it's a better deal than in the past. (Sorry that the graphs don't line up right but I'm not going to take the time to rescale it. :-)

Can't argue but I would imagine labor costs consume most of the increases - certainly over the last 10 years, probably the last 30.
