People pay more for a 15 minute phone call, why not a stamp. I know they just raised it a few pennies more, but go for the dollar. It's WELL worth it. Hand delivered mail is worth a dollar. Not many buy stamps anymore, and they could have cheaper stamps for the poor if they spend a lot on stamps. I bought a book months ago, and just used another one today. If making the stamp a dollar can keep Saturday deliveries and better pay, and possibly more jobs, why not. I know this deficit is fake, by why not make them strong. We NEED them.

They don't need to charge through the nose for shipping. They could raise that by pennies over the years like they do now, but a dollar stamp IMO would be good.
