WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. Postal Service, facing a deficit that will reach $9.2 billion this fiscal year, could be forced to close this winter, officials say.

"Our situation is extremely serious," Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe said in a New York Times article published Monday.

Donahoe has been advocating spending cutbacks recently that would eliminate Saturday mail delivery, close as many as 3,700 postal locations and result in layoffs of 120,000 employees, nearly 20 percent of the Postal Service's workforce.

The delivery service, which has no-layoff clauses with unions, faces higher costs, particularly for labor, which accounts for 80 percent of its expenses.

It wont be shut down it will become just another parasite on the american people.  The USPS need to be sold to Fedex and UPS, stamps will cost more but thats the market cost of delivering a letter today.

Bailout? Hey they did it for the Saudi Royal family and Bank of China. I can't imagine the implications of the postal service shutting down.

 

What has you father said about it Justin? Any details you could share??

Some thing is up here, it is the only agency that is to fund its existence years in advance. Push for privatization?
