The U.S. Postal service has announced that it could soon default on its debts. With the advent of E-mail and online bill pay, the rate of people using the service has dramatically dropped. This has led to a massive shortfall in profits for the service.
The Post office wants congress to step in help make up the shortfall. The post office wants more ability to cut services for failing offices as well as cutting Saturday services. I guess we’ll have to see what the future brings.
