USEFUL (OR USELESS) TRIVIA
BIRTHDAY TIME HERE AND GONE
This page is where I can share my thoughts on events, blow off steam and render an opinion. My promise is be reasonable, never impose or condemn, never ask anyone to agree and welcome your opinions. These are strictly my own thoughts and will never reflect negatively on how I conduct business with all of my customers. That's a solemn promise. Now let me ramble ..
There is no more exigent surcharge, Is it time to look at PAEA to see if the CPI index alone is enough to stabilize postage rates?
The CPI index over the last year consistently dropped, preventing the ability of the Postal Service to adjust rates. At a time when the surcharge was eliminated it added to the spiraling red ink at USPS. The CPI is now showing a gentle rise again and if it continues may herald a penny increase in 2017.
Dependence on the CPI alone could lead USPS to argue another exigent surcharge in the future. The Postal Accountability
and Enhancement Act of 2006 is seeing it's tenth anniversary. I believe it is time for another look. No one wants to see increases but does anyone want to go through an exigent effort again?
