The family postal employee tells me that the recent rate
increase was primarily an unintended consequence of
prior congressional mandates.

The USPS is required to preferrentially hire vets.
When they hire a vet, the USPS is required to pick up
liability for the entirety of the vet's mil pension.
They had a CPA finally figure out what this meant, and
it amounted to a massively underfunded liability.

Of course, if we spin the USPS off to entirely private,
and repeal the Express Statutes of 150 yrs ago, the
competitive landscape would radically change rates
and services.
