Found this interesting.<br /><br /><br />WASHINGTON (AP) — Massive deficits could force the U.S. post office to cut out one day of mail delivery per week, the postmaster general told Congress on Wednesday.<br />Postmaster General John E. Potter asked lawmakers to lift the requirement that the agency deliver mail six days a week.<br /><br />Faced with dwindling mail volume and rising costs, the post office was &#036;2.8 billion in the red last year and, &quot;if current trends continue, we could experience a net loss of &#036;6 billion or more this fiscal year,&quot; Potter said in testimony for a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee.<br /><br />Total mail volume was 202 billion items last year, more than 9 billion less than the year before, the largest single volume drop in history.<br /><br />And, despite annual rate increases, Potter said 2009 could be the first year since 1946 that the actual amount of money collected by the post office declines.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />At the cost of postage you wouldn&#39;t know it&#33; Cost me more to mail the package then it did to buy what was inside&#33;
