Customers can still buy the U.S. Postal Service Forever Stamps at the 46 cent postal rate until Saturday, January 26, 2014, and continue to use the Forever Stamps after the 2014 U.S. stamp cost increase.
Including the 2014 hike, the cost of a U.S. first class stamp will have increased by 25 percent since 2006 when it was 39 cents, 3 cents above the official Consumer Price Index inflation rate for the same time period.

People cannot afford these increases. It's difficult to pay the bills. Suggestion: provide a gentle decrease in your expenses vs. having staff lose their jobs. For a win/win, could you please reduce services one day per week, thus keeping people employed and being able to reduce (gently) salaries and heating expenses in buildings, gas costs, etc.
For 49 cents you can put a letter in a box right outside your house and someone will pick it up and bring it ANYWHERE in the country for you. Think of it that way. You couldn't get a little kid to lick a stamp for 49 cents.
e-mail is putting them out of 'business', but don't expect to see any savings as they conform.Current employment and decades of paying for cushy retirement packages for these hacks will raise the price to $1 before you know it.How many letters (at 50 cents a pop) can you stack on an airplane seat. The rest can be done by machines.
49 cents is cheaper than $3.00 plus per gallon for gas. If you mailed a bill to another state you sure couldn't drive it there for 49 cents.I do understand if everything goes up 3 to 5 cents especially groceries for example, you are gonna know it and it does make life harder.
