With the USPS continuously bleeding billions of $$ while shipping packages for China for free in the US and charging Amazon 1/2 price of handling their packages. How could they fund their employee benefits on such a flawed business plan?

USPS is also planning on introducing the biggest price increases next year. Such a mismanaged organization, they should be privatized and removed from receiving government aid.

The USPS should've been eliminated completely 50 years ago.

This is much ado about nothing.

It isn't Trump's plan. This plan has been on the books for almost 10 years. The Senate want's to bleed the Post Office dry so they go bankrupt.

Maybe we can combine the post office with the libraries. Read a physical book then write & send a letter to your friend about how great it was just like it's 1875.

This has nothing to do with Trump.

The President, per the US Constitution has nothing to do with the Post Office. That is the job of Congress.

Trump Derangement hits new lows yet again.

Whatever is cheap, fast and reliable for shipping parcels is all I care about

Libertarian utopia!

Trump supporters would love to pay $1.50 per stamp if their Dear Leader says it's in their best interests. They are also looking forward to spending more money on consumer goods after his pointless trade wars with our trading partners.

USPS charges below the market price, they're way cheaper. Trump would be screwing over his rural low-income base.
