E-Filing with IRS

I just read an article where the IRS was pissing and moaning about people buying software like TurboTax to do their taxes then printing out the return and mailing it in. According to the IRS it cost $2.49 to process a mailed return and $.78 to do it electronically. If the IRS wants people to E-file the answer is simple. Don't charge them a fee. For people that are in no hurry to get their return back, why would they pay the extra money to IRS, who has already taken so much, just to get their check a couple weeks earlier?
