political mud bath that has ensued, but whether you like Obama or not the Post Office problem has nothing to do with his administration. It was falling behind by millions for years - and now is billions in debt. I just picked up my mail from yesterday--18 pieces; one first class; the rest all 8 cent junk. I wonder what is the real cause of the PO's monetary problems. If the PO could charge 44cents to the junk mailers one of two things would happen: either and most likely junk mail would stop or two, the PO might start making money. Peace.
