USPS warns cash crunch could force delivery cuts without congressional aid
USPS warns it will run out of cash within a year and may have to cut delivery days or close post offices unless Congress raises its Treasury borrowing limit (to $15B) and approves long-delayed investments, as mail volume falls and a GAO report labels the business model unsustainable; lawmakers are divided on relief, with some open to reforms and others urging tighter cost cuts, while USPS seeks higher prices on mail and packages to compete in a shrinking market.
