Usually not rain or snow slows the U.S. Postal Service, but a rising deficit may force a slowdown.
Postmaster General, John Potter says the post office's financial situation could force the agency to cut a full day of mail delivery each week.
Potter asked a congressional panel today to end the requirement that the post office deliver mail six days a week. Although Saturday seems the likely day to be cut, another day could be chosen, such as Tuesday. How could they even consider this, while the nation is facing increasing unemployment?
I just wonder how that will fit in to the Obama administration's plan of job creation. It would seem that some postal employees would lose jobs, if mail delivery goes from six days a week to five. And you know they will also blame this on email! News Flash: People don't always check their email everyday!
