    Isn't there something in the Constitution about the Federal Gov't having a postal service?

    It is not mandatory, but Article 1 does authorize Congress "to establish Post Offices and Post Roads." Of course, Congress does everything they are authorized to do and then some.

    Our greatest President was not a big fan of this but our not-so-loving-of-freedom founding fathers thought it was a good idea.

    I also have the right by my title/position to fine anyone with loose livestock roaming through incorporated areas of Claiborne Parish $5 per head with a maximum of $25 per fine on the spot - but that doesn't exactly mean the law is useful in 2010 as it was in 1910

    The USPS has been an independent arm of the Federal Government since 1983.

    Yeah, but the USPS doesn't get any federal funds to operate.

    Yep, will only get worse as those who dont use computers, either die or learn. I get no bills in the mail, all I get is junk mail like you. I agree with Dwayne, if they feel like they need to keep it for now, they need to cut back the days they are in operation.

    I find that very hard to believe, basically, I don't believe it at all. If they don't get federal funding how do they continue to operate in the red year after year and not go belly up?
