U.S. Postal ServiceThe U.S. Postal Service is too big.
Period.
The volume of correspondence sent by snail mail in this digital age is still in free fall, and the Postal Service has too many employees and too many underused post offices.
As a result, it is buckling under the weight of its financial unsustainability, losing billions of dollars per year. In response, the agency plans to begin closing numerous post offices in mid-May.
Naturally, that has Congress threatening to ride to the rescue with a bailout to keep the agency from having to slim down to a size that roughly corresponds to actual market demand for its services.
