Sorry you had a bad experience with your rate increase not being listed. But didn't you say there was a website listed that you could go to to view the complete list? Wouldn't that tell you that the list on the paper was not complete?
Anyway, the post office was the only federal agency that was self-sufficient. They get they're money from postage. With the increase in gas prices, the betterment of equipment, etc, they have to increase postage in order to compensate. From my understanding, the post office is no longer a federal agency, though.
Just a note. Letter carriers do not get raises every time the postage rate goes up. No one has said that, but I thought I'd throw that out there anyway.
