Bill would not end Postal Service financial problems
Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor warned that even if Congress revises the Postal Service structure the deficits would not vanish and noted the agency has its best finances since 1971 reform. He contrasted a 1977 deficit of 700 million with prior annual losses around 1 billion and opposed a 2 billion annual subsidy aimed at taxpayers.
