Congress has 18 enunerated powers under Article 1. The post office is not an optional duty. It is specific ad precise. There is no dicussion about this.
It’s the economy, stupid. Fix the national economy, fix the post office. Businesses hoarding cash, not advertising? New businesses NOT being started up, due to uncertainties of the current administration? Lack of consumer spending due to unemployment?
Seriously, fixing the Post Office is a band-aid on a broken leg. Fire Obama and the Democrats, cut taxes and regulations, and the economy will roar. The Post Office difficulties will be history.
Not necessarily. Congress is authorized to “To establish Post Offices and post Roads”. There’s nothing that requires the Postal Service to make actual delivery. They could satisfy their Constitutional responsibility by handling interstate transport, and allow the states to do the rest.
