Jersey girl knows exactly what she's talking about. Check my response to Rick 1951 about 17 hours ahead for more facts you don't know about the USPS.

Really Rick? Huge tax savings?!! The post office hasn't taken a tax dollar since 1971 when tricky dick nixon cut us loose from the federal teat. We have been self supporting ever since. Get your facts straight. We are also in bed with UPS. How long have you been retired? Here's another interesting fact. 70 percent of post offices LOSE money. What business could do that without carrying those offices? Half the population would be without mail service. UPS doesn't go anywhere they are going to lose money. That's why they are now doing drop shipments at the back door of EVERY post office.

I'm just sayin'
