Reply To: Will the eventual closure of the USPO impact you?

Thanks to all for the advice on Bill Pay I’m going to do the switch next month. My payees aren’t part of the system but it eliminates the hassle of finding a drop box right now.

2Cents since 2006 the USPS has had to prefund pension and retirees insurance unlike any other department in the US govt. FWIW using DHL it would cost me $7 to send a document to Ptlnd OR. Remember too, not every American is middle class some are poor, live rurally and without the internet. Right now its the cost of a postage stamp for me. Frankly I stocked up on forever stamps 2 years ago consequently I’m paying less than todays rates for postage.

I’m guessing (I’ve not done the research) but I would guess that the USPS much like SNAP contributes substantially to the US economy.
