Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe appeared before Congress on Wednesday and warned that the USPS is "losing $25 million every day, and we are on an unsustainable path." He added that the agency could become "a significant burden" to taxpayers if it's not allowed the flexibility to make changes.
He believes the Postal Service has merely delayed its plan to end Saturday delivery, which was promoted as a way to save $2 billion annually. After the USPS announced the plan, some customers and postal workers complained and organized protests while Congress adopted a resolution to preserve six-day service.
At least one thing is clear: The Postal Service is in a first-class mess, with losses mounting to $15.9 billion last year.
A random thought about this matter by Hank Slocum:
Why not fire Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe and replace him with someone with someone else? That would be a good start. I think "Larry the Cable Guy" could do a better job.
When recently interviewed on the David Letterman show, "Larry the Cable Guy" said, "I'm up for anything. That USPS Postmaster General job? Heck yes I'll take it. From what I hear, it's one of the easiest jobs in the United States and pays really good too."
