The rising cost of a…postage stamp?
Posted by Chris Stover on May 12, 2008
Apparently, the cost of a single stamp has risen yet again today.
I remember when the price used to be 29 cents. According to this handy chart from Wikipedia, that tells you such a price occurred between 1991 and 1995.
I am all for the support of the fine men and women of the United States Postal Service, but is this money solely going to their salary? If not, what’s it going toward? Answer me, government!
I’m calling it now - stamps are the new gas. What once cost us just a few cents per parcel will soon be costing us our lunch money.
On the plus side, Wikipedia has another cool list of people on stamps.
