i did mention borrowing ~ they borrow money ~ and operating losses are a cause for concern at the Postal Rate Commission ~ the postal design is to raise postage rates with PRC permission.
Talk to your Congressman ~ ask him why that hasn't been done.
I can assure you that if I have this conversation with my Congressman, I am going to be pushing for complete dissolution of the Postal Service.
Why don’t the USPS run like any other business, and borrow money from banks? Why do they go to the Federal trough for credit?
By the way, the USPS tracking system is a joke. Have you ever tried to mail a critical document via USPS? I HAVE. Guess what happened? IT VANISHED. I did not get a refund, and the disinterested clerks at the Post Office where I mailed it basically told me, “Yeah, you paid extra, but it’s not guaranteed to get there by any particular time, and no, you do not have recourse.” Needless to say, that was THE LAST time that I used their service for anything important.
