I've been concerned about this for a long time. The USPS has operated without government funding for years but is in the hole because they have been forced to pay more into the civil service retirement fund than needed. I consistently get better service from USPS than from FedEx, UPS, or any competitor, at a far better price. They're also the second largest employer in America. While I admit this article is a tad political, I would like to raise awareness of this as it is really a critical problem. UPS, FedEx, etc, will not go out of their way to deliver your mail in emergencies. USPS will. The post office is truly a staple of our country, and I would hate to see it go.
