Make it a premium service? Pay so much per week to receive mail.

Cut down the days of delivery unless it's an essential service.

Making it a premium service will only further put a dent in the budgets of schools and government agencies that are legally required to use USPS.

Stop providing illegal immigrants with government services and stop unconstitutionally fighting wars for Israel and we could afford the Post Office running a deficit.

At least the government-run Post Office is Constitutional.

get it out of the public sector and put it in the hands of the private sector

Every government run agency is in debt due to redundancies and waste.

Kill the PAEA.


This makes no sense to me. They have to prefund their employees retirement plan, instead of just funding as they retire (which I assume is the other option).


quote:

This pre-funding method is unique to the USPS. In June 2011, the USPS had to suspend its weekly payment of 115 million into the fund because it had reached 8 billion dollars in debt and the retirement plan had a surplus of 6.9 billion dollars

I would cut back delivery to 3-4 days a week to start.

Charge a premium price for special P.O. Boxes for men that are really glory holes.

This kills 2 birds with one stone because now the hookers can get on payroll and receive benefits.

Shut it down completely. Let the major carriers such as FedEx and UPS perform all mail delivery services.
