The junk mail operation needs to be reigned in. Right now the Post Office does not need subsidies, that may change in the future. Delivering junk mail is hurting the brand with the tax payers that may be asked to give the subsidy.
The thrust of my argument, that services need to be added and not cut, is to say that the Post Office should be made more useful and not less.
If the utility of the USPS dwindles, and we first cut Saturday delivery, and we close neighborhood Post Offices and make cuts to service so that you cant pick up the phone and get a local employee on to help you. If we go that route, and that is the direction we are headed now, the chorus of voices allied against the Post Office will be bolstered. The public will say, with some justification, that the Post Office is not that useful and therefore should be let go.
