Post Office Cuts Saturday Delivery

I'm willing to bet that this won't be the last time a day of the week will be skipped for mail delivery.

Ending the Saturday delivery of mail is "just one step in a plan to resolve our finances," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said in an interview on CNBC. "Going forward we still need legislation to address a number of things."

This plan is supposed to cut $5 billion from the Post Offices expenses. They also plan to make changes to the Postal Workers health care that is supposed to save another $7 billion. I would be willing to bet that Friday delivery or maybe Wednesday delivery will probably be next. I mean each day you cut is $5 billion in savings so you might as well cut a little more.  I can stand not getting advertising flyers and useless catalogs for another day of the week.
