Yep Immie , just raise the rates to cover the expenses.
Postmaster General John Potter said Tuesday that he intends to seek congressional approval to cut Saturday delivery as part of a wide-ranging plan to close a multi-billion dollar budget gap.
Though the idea of cutting service from six to five days has gotten a cool reception on Capitol Hill, Potter said that the plan would include enough flexibility so that customers who need Saturday service can get it and that this and other changes need to be implemented for the Postal Service to survive.
"We built a plan that we think is very reasonable. ... We intend to pursue that," he said. "It's a move that we simply have to make."

But my physical address is more permanent.
And with the USPS if my physical addy changes I have one card to submit to get all my mail forwarded.
While I get all the other businesses notified.
I think the postal service peaked with the pony express.
What the Post Office should really do is raise the cost of a stamp to competitive rates, especially the cost of all the damn Junk mail. If they raised the cost of all that bulk junk mail, they'd save on labor costs from the companies that can't afford it anymore, and it would stop filling up my garbage pail.
Lets just give the responsibility of daily letter delivery to UPS and see where their rates go?
So the postal service has become a govt subsidized advertising medium for corporations?
you would be surprised at the amount of industries and people who depend on the post office....and this is on top of every other thing that is out there.....There is an act of congress mandating minimum fees for to door deliver of postal matter.
The thing is, all I get these days is legal notices from Washington County and advertising circulars. All my other stuff goes email. The bank has permission to send all my banking business by email, and that is where I get all my business correspondence.
You get rid of the minimum price law, I think we would see lots lower prices for express mail, but that is all there would ever be.
From what I understand, the US post office is the world's most efficient and cheapest. The German post office (known locally as the Bundespest) seems to be one of the most expensive.
The US mail moves an incredible amount of drek for really cheap cost over a huge area. Very little gets lost too. So it is the best and cheapest buggy whip dealer. I don't see much of a point for it any more.
The Postal Service has been one of the most efficient and large-scale efforts ever instituted in this country.
It's one of the most efficient government efforts...and it's bankrupt.
'nuff said.
its not bankrupt yet....but if you see how management manages its finances its not hard to see why they lose so much money.....see post no. 4.....Meister knows this place as well as me....
