Post office plans to announce new rate increase

AP - Battered by massive losses, the Postal Service wants to raise rates to bring in more money.

If every business increase rates at a time when there are so many unemployed people, how is anyone able to afford anything. It's a sign of the times. People email or use social networks to communicate and keep in touch with family and friends instead of snail mail. I really don't think the financial crisis has much to do with this.
