À propos de ce contenu audio
The U.S. is showing signs of becoming a “postage stamp republic,” a term I first learned as a boy from my stamp collection. Historically, “postage stamp republics” were weak, unstable nations, issuing new stamps frequently to raise money and signaling constant inflation through fluctuating postal rates. Today, the U.S. mirrors that pattern: new stamps appear constantly, often sold more to collectors than used, generating profit for the postal service, while postal rates jumped three times in 1981 alone from 15¢ to 18¢ to 20¢. Beyond stamps, these signs hint at broader issues political instability, inflation, and the gradual erosion of freedom. It’s a wake-up call that something more fundamental than postal rates needs fixing. #PostageStampRepublic #Inflation #PostalRates #EconomicStability #PoliticalInstability #Freedom #USPolitics #FiscalAwareness #GovernmentOversight #HistoryLessons
