Vanity, next time you cuss the USPS....

To minimize the frequency of postage rate changes they'll run a deficit for a few years then raise rates and then pay off those deficits and collect more than is needed to run for a few years.

It's a cycle ~ once you get to the period where they bought an incredible amount of automation equipment the deficits were supposed to run for maybe 10 years, then disappear ~

Alas, the Great Obama Recession came along and business collapsed, and with it printed advertising.

Jus' the way it is.

USPS can cut several billion dollars in costs but Congress as prohibited them from doing so.

When you learn how to read you'll discover I didn't defend the system ~ just stated what it was and who was responsible for it. You're the guy who said we should imprison the PMG and yet he is responsible for neither the system nor the rate setting mechanism.

I'd suggest you write threatening letters to your congressman, not make ignant arguments on FR.

In my area when any one goes on vacation we always ask a neighbor to check the mail. Even if they request the USPS to hold their mail for a week, the mail will still show up for the first three or four days after they requested the mail to be stopped.
