Without competition we may never know, but I will bet that it costs more than $0.10. thus we all have to subsidise the $0.10 Christmas mail which doesn't really save us anything. We are, of course, subsidising the business mail as well. I figure that they should make junk mail and promotional material a lot more expensive than regular mail, but that suggestion is not likely to go over well with the businesses that keep sending me coupons and junk mail.
