It's not so much the price per piece of mail, but the quantity being sent. People pay bills online now, they send e-cards, they write emails instead of letters and businesses are doing much more via email or through intranet. The postal service is becoming obsolete because of technology.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
