Poised for Growth: A Look at USPS 2014 Financial Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday, November 14, 2014<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Once again, the Postal Service\u2019s end-of-year results \u2013 which were released earlier today \u2013 demonstrate the Postal Service\u2019s continued importance to American commerce and society.<\/p>\n

In 2014, the Postal Service saw overall revenue growth, as well as growth in letter mail revenue and in package<\/p>\n

volume and revenue.\u00a0 Importantly, the Postal Service also netted an operating profit for the year of $1.4 billion. It does all this without a dime of taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n

This 2014 growth builds on the remarkable improvements we saw in 2013.<\/p>\n

It also begs the question: if the Postal Service can make money delivering the mail, why do Congress and USPS management insist on tearing it down by proposing new cuts in service and refusing to address a burdensome mandate that costs it billions of dollars a year?<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t need to eliminate Saturday delivery.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need to slow mail delivery speeds with additional processing plant closures.\u00a0 We don\u2019t need to make the Postal Service less convenient by eliminating door-to-door delivery.\u00a0 Those sorts of changes will only drive customers away.<\/p>\n

Instead, we need smart, targeted reforms that address the Postal Service\u2019s most pressing financial issues and that build on the strength of its unmatched network.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the kind of sensible reform Americans want to see from Congress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
