US Postal Service to drop Saturday delivery?
- 12 years ago
The US Postal Service traces its roots back to 1775. Since then, the USPS has been delivering America's stuff, rain or shine. The USPS does not charge rural residents extra, despite the fact it is considerably harder to deliver to them. However, the rise of email has left the USPS in dire financial straits. Obama does not want to cut jobs or benefits, but he is in favor of slashing costs by stopping Saturday deliveries. Some think cuts could be the start of a death spiral for the USPS. What will take its place?
