The best way to save them undue what the idiots in congress did you injure them in the first place, the only reason they imposed any of these harsh measures is because the republicans in office are so stupid and short sighted they decided "hey what would be a great thing we could do to prove how stupid we all are ????" I KNOW ! LETS DESTROY THE USPS so this way we'd all be left with DHL,UPS, or Fedex Hey look at that they're giving us money now too !! AWESOME !!! YEAH F#$% the american people !

Now, with the Postal Service losing roughly $25 million a day as more Americans opt for email and the Internet for communication, it is again focusing on the younger population to bring in more revenue.
Ya think? That's called progress.

You're not going to convince young people to send letters to their friends by starting a freakin clothing line.

Mind boggling.

People might the clothing at the beginning as a passing fad but I doubt it will help in the long term.
