From NPR Morning Edition:

“It’s may now be viewed as snail mail, but the U.S. Postal Service has managed to hit on a winning strategy for selling stamps: Announce an increase in price, then offer a “Forever Stamp” that never goes up. Since its introduction last year, Americans have found the stamp such a bargain they’ve snapped up $2.3 billion worth, including $95 million since the Postal Service announced stamps are going up again.”
