Sorry, but revenue factors in to efficiency. Try the math again.

[muawiyah]

No, sorry ~ revenue is not part of anybody's 'efficiency' ~ that's strictly a measure of changes in number of processes/products vs. manpower ~ setting prices and marketing are a whole different aspect of things.

USPS is not in difficulty due to a failure to raise prices ~ the Postal Rate Commission turned down higher rates ~ they simply don't recognize the Issa/Snowe $5 billion tap as a legitimate postal expense!

That's Congress' problem!

Then, your boy Obama has kept the Great Obama Recession running 3.5 years longer than planned which has suppressed mail volumes.
