The postal service is a staple of the us and should stay that way forever. The amazon deal will help close the deficit some. Leave it to the government to mess things up like they did in 2006 with the pre paid healthcare for retirees for the postal service. They were making a profit until that point with no issues.

Less employees needed and less gas used. It is ridiculous to “still” have 6 day delivery which consists almost entirely of BBM, which is for the garbage.
That alone will save billions of dollars.

Linda – what sources say USPS has no debt? Read this article from the GAO:

If it were not for the PAEA requirement USPS would probably have no debt.
