Recently, the USPS has experienced significant financial challenges. After running modest profits from 2004 through 2006, the USPS lost $5.3 billion in 2007, $2.8 billion in 2008 and $3.8 billion in 2009. A number of ideas have been advanced that would attempt to improve the USPS's financial condition in the short term so that it might continue as a self-funding government agency. This new book provides an overview of the U.S. Postal Service's financial condition, recent legislation to alleviate the USPS's financial challenges, and possible issues for the 111th Congress.
