[pct-l] Postage Increase

[Greg Kesselring]

the Federal Reserve Board has become increasingly efficient at 
destroying the value of the dollar.  (Something like 97 percent is gone 
since they were formed in the early part of the last century.  Prior to 
that time, monetary inflation in this country was unheard of.)   The 
Fed's efficiency has improved so much so that the government took off 
the shackles that used to prevent the Post Service from increasing their 
rates.  Used to be the Post Office had to jump thru all kinds of hoops 
to raise rates and it happened only once every few years.  Now, once a 
year.  In a year or two, who knows, every few months??

How long will it be before we're carrying $1000 bills like we used to 
carry tens?
