Stamps may go to 46 cents
Want to send granny a card? It might cost you a bit more next year.
The U.S. Postal Service on Tuesday proposed a 2-cent increase in the price of a first-class stamp, bringing the cost to 46 cents. The change, if approved, will go into effect on Jan. 2.
The Postal Service is trying to dig itself out of a deep financial hole. It projects a $7 billion deficit next fiscal year.
