The Post Office is running a (massive) deficit.

How about we do something about that. Like maybe cutting back?

Huh?

Ask Congress. You had two Postmasters General in a row tell them cutbacks were needed, and they proposed them to Congress which promptly in a very bipartisan way REJECTED THE CUTS.

I wrote up the definitive proposal for cutbacks back in the mid 70s. They start with closing down 28,000 unnecessary buildings and laying off about 100,000 unnecessary employees. That went to the Postmaster General for his consideration ~ and one item was accepted ~ to no longer change zipcodes on folks whose post office had been shut down.

So, tell me, did you ever vote for a member of Congress who thought USPS should be allowed to cut costs?

BTW, USPS Is not running a deficit. They are running out of money and have no more resources to tap. Department of Defense, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Cr*p and Stuff ~ they all run deficits and tap your wallet every day.
