U.S. Postal Service downsizes

by Dr. Eowyn

All joking aside, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) says it's broke, despite repeated hikes in the price of the 1st class postage stamp. In 2011, the USPS lost a whopping $3.1 BILLION in just 3 months (April to June)!

Of course, it doesn't help that the USPS regularly wastes money on commemorative stamps, such as the $1.2 million it recently squandered on the TV cartoon Homer Simpson commemorative stamps.
