but we’re reminded they are not government. until they want to be government, then they are government.

USPS is always broke - and continually raising the cost of first class delivery never seems to fix the problem.

[dinodino]

Break them up and sell off the assets. Every year we hear the same thing from these guys.

[ClearCase_guy]

Golly, I wonder where they will find the money they need???

[DannyTN]

No government or agency should be allowed to have unfunded pensions. They should all be forced to switch to funded 401k plans like most corporations have.

It’s just too easy to write your self a check for the future that a government can’t cash, and that is far out of line with what private jobs are paying.

Profit = Income - Expenses. A simple audit should identify the problem.

The post office isn't about delivering mail, it's about being able to send government correspondences to each and every citizen.

[CharlesOConnell]

YeahBut keep that 4th class junkmail YOU subsidize for the directmail industry clogging up your mailbox.

[The Duke]

Can’t they just pay for this with some of Obama’s “stash”?

[elpadre]

let them go into bankruptcy and reorganize without the union. It can be done.

Any time the USPS tries to make a rational business decision to make ends meet, Congress says “NO!”. They are basically damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

They wanted to cut off Saturday delivery to help stop some losses, but Congress calls the shots.

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

and yet we seem to have a trillion sitting around to pay for affordable health care?

[Uncle Chip]

The government acts as if unfunded benefits are somehow sacred.

Cut the benefits and then they won’t be unfunded.

Postal Service Faces $100B in Debts and Unfunded Benefits

Stimulating enough for me.

Tell them to look to their union fat-cat bosses for a bailout this time.

[OrioleFan]

I guess it’s time for Obama to use his pen and phone again...

[Irish Eyes]

I would be very happy if they just delivered 1 or 2 days a week

Post Office Problem: People use the internet because the cost of postage is too high.

Post Office solution: Raise the cost of postage to make up their deficit.

Yeah, that’ll work. That solution had to be devised by some Democrat genius.

[familyop]

Fund it with cuts in federal funding to local governments.

[a fool in paradise]

That’s okay. They can’t be hurting for money. They just sponsored a free concert stage at SXSW in Austin.
