Cal Thomas: Time to stamp out the post office

On July 13 , the cost of a first -class stamp is scheduled to rise from 73 cents to 78 cents .

Domestic post cards will now cost 62 cents , more if you mail them to another country.

A major contributor to the rising prices of stamps is the postal service’s obligation to its retirees.

As prices go up, usage declines, as they raise taxes, more people leave.
