The Post Office’s “customers” are ~400 bulk mailers. They’re the only ones the USPS makes any money off of. You, the 1st-class postage mailer? You do nothing for them, possibly less than nothing. They couldn’t care less about the ordinary citizen’s mail needs.
This “plan” is about a Republican politician and the big money behind him.
The USPS is spending beyond its means big time to the tune of billions.
We need real solutions that involve balancing budgets soon before all this debt explodes in our face and that is not going to happen with Republicans like Boehner, McCarthy, Ryan, Issa, Mitch McConnell, Thad Cochran, Lamar Alexander etc. etc. etc.
