Schiff from above on Anytime Stamps: Apart from sounding the death knell of the one cent stamp, the news is interesting on two fronts: it provides insight into remarkably irresponsible government accounting, and it provides investors with the most attractive Federally-guaranteed inflation protected asset available on the market today......But the real reason behind the permanent switch is that it allows the Post Office to hide its insolvency behind phony accounting numbers, setting itself up for a massive taxpayer financed bailout in the not too distant future.
And maybe they figure no-one will buy stamps in the future anyway. I cant see a reason to buy the stamps with the prices still on them anymore, but people actually do.
