I don't fault the post office for putting out specialty stamps. I used to collect stamps when I was a kid. Despite the large amount of money that the post office makes, for a collector, its actually quite inexpensive of a hobby. You can buy a set of ten stamps that are in a new release for under four dollars. Can you name another hobby that you can actively collect for so little tender?

Seems like the rate for a US stamp is going up and the postmaster general also wants to cut back mail delivery to five days a week.

I have no problem with them raising the rates as I have not mailed any parcels out for close to a year now. I just hope they do not find a way to tax the use of e-mail.

Postal Service Is Nearing Default as Losses Mount:

The United States Postal Service has long lived on the financial edge, but it has never been as close to the precipice as it is today: the agency is so low on cash that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month and may have to shut down entirely this winter unless Congress takes emergency action to stabilize its finances.

Shock Doctrine at U.S. Postal Service: Is a Manufactured Crisis Behind Push Toward Privatization?:

Postal workers say the much touted crisis facing the U.S. Postal Service isn't what it seems. Rather, they point to a 2006 law that forced the USPS to find enough money to fund 75 years of retiree health benefits over just a 10-year span. Ref. Source 3

The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service says it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays, but it will continue delivering packages six days a week.
