Show Notes
The United States Postal Service is facing a severe financial crisis, with Postmaster General David Steiner warning Congress that they may run out of cash within a year. The agency has posted significant losses in recent years due to digital shifts reducing letter and check usage, while costs continue to rise. Steiner has proposed increasing stamp prices and seeking more borrowing power or direct payments from Congress to address the issue. Experts and lawmakers agree on the urgency of the situation but differ on the best course of action for short-term aid and long-term reforms. The Postal Service is working to stabilize its finances before reaching the cash cliff, with significant changes expected to keep mail services running for all Americans.
