We have a much smaller group to work with, ergo higher costs.

Nice job losing 8.5 billion dollars last year. Congratulations. Fine work you’re doing over there.

The USPS continued to stand ready to provide the service. Alas, the mail users failed to pay.

BTW, the real cause of all this is OVERBUILDING ~ we now have 10 million surplus homes in this country, and yet delivery has to be provided to each of them in case somebody moves in.

It's Barney Frank's fault!

BTW, USPS is ready to slash up to $15 billion from its cost structure but Congress won't let them.

See those guys on TV today cutting $10 million here, a billion there, and USPS has this immensely large pile of stuff to give up and those some "brave souls" won't touch it.
