What's your source for this? This has been under consideration for a couple of years, yet you are reporting it as though it were new and as though the decision has already been made. I don't believe either of these is correct.
If you're trying to start a discussion I don't mind contributing. I think it would be fine to save USPS funds by eliminating Saturday deliveries.
My mother lives in a rural area where they have a small post office. There are literally 10 people who live inside that city, but the rural areas fought to keep its doors open a few years back. Congressmen swore they wouldn't close it. No one ever uses it, its ridiculous.
They should also completely stop delivering to Congress. Let them do without their payoff checks.
They should also stop being under congressional rule! After all, they receive no tax dollars directly, only subsidies to send mail to overseas Americans and deliver to disabled persons. The main contributor to their problems is like any agency with a surplus with congressional oversight, interagency borrowing. Couple that with the fact that they have been mandated to prefund their healthcare fund for 75 years!! No other agency has ever been required to do such a thing. They were running deficits before the prefunding requirement in 2006, but not like they are now, and not like they will continue to be.
By the way, my mother is a USPS employee. Everyday, one to two UPS trucks deliver mail to her office and they deliver it.
I am using the wait and see approach I think we have been talking about this for 4 years maybe longer.
