In Special Delivery to Lawmakers, U.S. Postmaster Signals SOS

Joe Davidson - In Special Delivery to Lawmakers, U.S. Postmaster Signals SOS - washingtonpost.com: "If the U.S. Postal Service delivered mail by boat, it would be a sinking ship.

A large hole in the hull, punched by a huge iceberg named Recession, is draining mail volume while it allows financial losses to flow in and drown the service in a financial swamp.
The Postal Service is in dreadful shape and needs quick help from Congress to continue delivering the mail.

That was the message repeated over and over by a parade of witnesses yesterday before the House subcommittee on federal workforce, postal service and the District of Columbia."
