Postal Service loses money despite customer increase
The U S Postal Service delivers mail to about 11 million homes and businesses but faces rising costs and shrinking revenue. Experts note mail volume fell from a 2006 peak to 213.1 billion pieces in 2006, with revenue dropping to 5.2 billion, while labor and delivery costs remain a fixed burden. Analysts see growing addresses as potential opportunity if the agency adapts to changing times.

Obama budget plan to revisit small budget cuts and fees
President Obama’s budget again resurrects long standing small scale cuts and new fees such as telecom spectrum charges and higher TSA fees. It seeks about 200 billion in savings outside health care and includes proposals like ending Saturday mail delivery and selling excess federal properties. The plan, like past efforts, aims at a grand deficit deal but remains stalled in Congress.
