U.S. Postal Service Loses $3.3 Billion In Just Three Months

Why no one can figure this out just amazes me! I am going to lay out the plan for how to fix this that is very clean and simple.

1 – Go to every other day mail delivery and eliminate Saturday delivery. Let’s face it, who is waiting for the mail these days? Most of my bills come via email and the ones that do not won’t matter if I get them a few days later.

2 – By going to an every other day delivery will eliminate a significan­t amount of labor that will greatly reduce costs.

3 – Raise the price of third class mail. Again, most of this business is moving to the web via email. The companies that truly find third class mail valuable still will accept the increase. The others will drop out, thus reducing the costs of handling.

4 – Eliminate overnight, 2 day, and any thing that is not first or third class mail. UPS and Fedex own this business. The USPS cannot compete or execute it very well. Get out of it!

Let’s face the facts, the USPS is going the way of the land line phone. We need to manage the decline with the least amount of impact on the costs. Losing $12-14 billion is unacceptab­le for this country right now.
