u s postal service

Faced with an $8.5 billion loss, the U.S. Postal Service has been cutting back: slashing hours, combining routes and closing offices.

The U.S. Postal Service announced Wednesday it lost more than $2 billion between April and June. It's on track to be $7 billion dollars in debt by the end of September.

I’m not much for labels, and I refuse to say I’m a Democrat, or a Libertarian, and I assume it goes without saying I reject the notion that I am a Republican.

But if you had to pigeon hole me, I’m something of a little “l” libertarian, at least as far as that means I’m socially “liberal” and economically “conservative”.

I don’t like government waste any more than the next guy. Waste, that is, government waste.

The U.S. Postal Service might cut out one day of service a week because it's going bankrupt.

I really wouldn't care .
