Perspective.... the USPS stated about a year ago that 90% of all mail is Junk Mail.... Not First or Second class mail. Third class. Now if they raised the price of junk mail by 3 cents a piece, I wonder how that would fix the USPS problems in a few years?

Correcting for inflation, the pony express postage would be $208 today. Larry Z
