Remember… The Pony Express, by far the most efficient (and expensive) mail service of it’s day, gave way to the telegraph after only a short time in business.
Actually the biggest problem is junk mail. They charge less for more crap. Raise the fees on junk mail and/or reduce deliveries on THAT, and now we’re talking.
The post office does not have a monopoly on mailboxes. They have standards for the construction and once installed it becomes property of the U.S. Gov’t to protect it and your mail.
The people responsible for destroying and then attempting to save the Post Office are the same people responsible for destroying and then attempting to save Social Security. Doesn’t give you a lot of confidence does it?
The Senate is providing the only solution it knows, borrowing more money.
FedEx actually transfers packages to USPS for final delivery, so they can increase THEIR profit margin by using the cheaper source! It is Fed Ex that slows delivery in their “tranfer sites”!
While paypal may work, you can’t get your medications electronically, or through that little CD slot in the computer.

Thanks, CONgress for manufacturing a crisis where none would exist without your idiocy.

Actually #1 should be – Actually delivering the mail. #2 should be increasing 10x the cost for junk mail.

No Congress is actually taking a large chunk of income from the post office. Thanks to the democrats.
