U.S. Postal Service: Another Looming Crisis

Of the cost-cutting solutions proffered by the USPS, the idea of cutting back a day of delivery—while not in the immediate conversation—isn't universally deplored, as one might expect. A PIA membership survey last fall revealed that seven in 10 could live with one less day of mail delivery. What would bother them is if the USPS tried to assail a key proviso of the PAEA, the cap limiting rate increases to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). That's a deal-breaker.
