Postal rates will be reasonable only if Congress does not force the post office to low ball all the trash mail. For years Congress gave advertisers special low rates and has told the post office to suck it up.
I recieved a letter yesterday from a not-for profit that had stamps costing 5 cents. If they pay less than 1/10 of the cost to mail a normal letter, then this is where I would start. Plus, I hate all the junk mail.
I wonder if bankruptcy is an option when they run out of money.
They could raise their rates while simultaneously contracting out more of
their operations to private contractors.
There’s no requirement that any government entity or service be “self-sustaining.” In fact, most aren’t. I think charging for postal services is completely appropriate, but it’s okay for the postal system to take “a loss,” like our national park system, military, environmental protection agency, NASA, etc., because they all contribute to the greater good.
