I had better get a 911 address before they shut down. As it is now it is real hard for fedex or ups to deliver anything to me. I use the PO for a lot. My address is still PO BOX xxx

The one thing that people look past is "junk mail"...to this day direct mail advertising carries the highest "hit rate" than any other means of advertising.
Guess what that means? "junk" mail - WORKS.
Getting rid of direct mail removes the most successful form of advertising businesses have - especially in this economy - that would be incredibly stupid.
You people have no clue how many people dont even own a computor do you?
Libraries and schools have computers, which allow public access.

USPS should be privatized, in order to keep it functioning

Several laws will need changing as many depend on official notifications thru the US mail.
The history of the Post Office is a fairly interesting one:
History of the United States Postal Service
Benjamin Franklin knew how important the mail was to businesses and he was instrumental in setting up a service that would be good for commerce.
Junk mail is what has kept OUR rates low all these years. Without it we would have paid much more to mail a letter. In some countries just mailing a letter can cost $1.50. And it costs far more to mail a letter through private services than through the post offices. I have paid up to $10.00 just to send a letter through a private carrier.
The post office has become archaic, IMO, but I think we need to keep it alive. We never know when technology will fail, and I believe many will regret the loss if they have only private delivery services to depend on. Who's to say private services would be any better if they carried the entire load.

Consistent with other retiree benefit obligations, the Postal Service is being unfairly burdened for its share of the FERS pension obligation. The OPM projected a $6.8 billion surplus in the Postal Services FERS obligation at the end of FY 2009. The OPM acknowledged that the federal governments FERS obligation, excluding the Postal Service, was unfunded by $7.4 billion at the end of FY 2008.8 The funding status for the Postal Service, as well as the federal government, is calculated by subtracting the pension assets from the actuarial accrued liability. A higher liability results in an unfunded status, while a lower liability results in a surplus. According to the OPM, the liability is a projection for current and future benefit obligations and considers contributions paid into and disbursements from FERS. Overall, the liability is based on estimated demographics for the entire federal government, including the Postal Service.
However, the Postal Services benefits paid represent actual demographic behavior, such as early career turnover, and not the aggregate, resulting in a surplus status for the Postal Service and an unfunded status for the federal government.
Based on this data, the Postal Services overfunding issue is even larger than we previously reported. Similar to what we have noted in other OIG retiree benefit reports, Postal Service ratepayers continue to pay more than their fair share of retiree benefits. It is important that the trend of overpayments does not continue. The Postal Service faces a challenging future and its responsibilities and the true cost of funding postal operations needs to be absolutely clear. To address that challenge, the Postal Service is making operational changes to bring costs in line with revenue projections. Additionally, it is pursuing legislative changes to address concerns raised about pension and retiree health benefit payments. We believe management should also consider the FERS overfunding issue as the Postal Service pursues legislative changes.
