The Post Office is raising postage three cents........BIG DEAL. Instead of eating the terrible 3 cent increase, now you have a good reason to increase postage/handling charges another 50 cents.

You seem to forget that the U.S.P.S. was heavily hit with the antrax thing, not to mention the increase in oil prices. Everytime there is an increase in gasoline prices, it cost additional millions to the Post Office.
