Don't forget the postal rate increases!

I just heard on the news that the rate hikes this year are to benefit the military and do not benefit the postal service. They expect to have to make a price hike next year to help with operating costs. Ouch.

Although I am not a fan of the Direct Marketing Association, they have some information on their website under "2) Military Pension Costs and Excess Funds Held in Escrow":
