No offense, but I find the different designs of stamps to be a PROBLEM
with the Postal Service. The costs of creating and printing so many

already out of control.

Can you imagine how much they could cut from costs and the price of
first class postage if they printed ONE type of flag stamp and no other
designs??

You are CLAIMING to have reviewed post office records?

Given the quantity of engraving purchased, I'm guessing that the post
office gets a volume discount from Treasury. After all, Treasury has only
one other customer: The Federal Reserve System.

For your next suggestion, Gee, wouldn't retail transactions and banking be
CHEAPER if all users of currency agreed to use only denomination?

Have you heard of philately? Were you aware that tens of millions of
stamps, face value, are purchased annually not intended to be used for
First-Class Mail? Gosh, there's no way to make money on that.

Excellent troll, Google dude.
