letter to the editor:

Since when are two stamps not enough?

For as long as I can remember, and I’m 66, two first-class stamps would get a letter delivered to our friends in Canada. This last Christmas, I had a letter returned demanding 17 extra cents in postage. Not only did that return cost more than 17 cents, but it seems to point to other problems.

Has the real value of the U.S. dollar decayed so much that two forever stamps don’t have the value they once did? I have written my congressman and my U.S. senators to address this issue. Perhaps this issue is dwarfed by concerns such as our president ignoring our U.S. Constitution. But just on the chance that I have stumbled upon something easily correctable, I will expect this to be changed for the better.

I don’t expect the U.S. military to run at a profit, nor do I expect the USPS to do the same. They are both services important to society.
