According to my local ABC affiliate

Exactly. The postal service has been unable to operate within budget for years. Closing thousands of branches did not help. Something must be cut WITHIN the USPS to get them under budget.

My husband is 65. He still pays bills on Saturday morning and plops them in the box. He's not hip to the times.





He was griping about it this morning. Iol

Same here. Don't really care though.....I hardly get anything but junk mail and packages will still be delivered

It has not been approved by Congress yet. So there is no guarantee that is going to happen. Congress is in recess still.

What! My mail carrier always makes jokes about how he has never come on this street and never not stop to deliver something, letters,packages, etc. Oh, well he won't have to now on Saturdays.

That's not how ABC news worded it. It will probably be passed.
My brother delivers mail and he is quite worried about it though.
