Maybe you ought to do a little research. The Postal Service is paid for completely by our sales. The only government agency that is not getting taxpayer dollars. Quit making us prepay retiree healthcare (which Congress makes no other agency do) and give us back our overpayment into pension plans and we could be ok.
And why must we run an office in every little 4 man town so all the locals can catch up on their gossip? We are a business, not a charity!
I applaud you and agree with everything you wrote. We also have to accept blame for some of the USPS financial woes because WE choose to pay our bills on-line instead of spending the HUGE sum of 44 cents for a stamp. Saying that it's cheaper to pay on-line is a load of crap. It's more convenient is all. We can help the USPS get back on it's feet by choosing to mail in our bills instead of paying on line. I know I'm only a gang of one but STARTING TODAY MY BILLS WILL BE MAILED IN.
