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.

I was waiting for you to mention the unions and the pension fund in addition. The last thing the USPS needs is to raise rates, that’s for sure. Saturday delivery should go, either way.

I didn’t see it mentioned here, but the postal service used to deliver mail seven days a week up until 1912. Sunday delivery was stopped apparently due to religious reasons. The only other time Saturday delivery was halted was in 1957.
