Keep on bailing!

A Postal Service bailout? - David Rogers - POLITICO.com

Quote:
Democrats moved Thursday to give special relief to the financially strapped Postal Service, which would be allowed to defer $4 billion in payments due at the end of this month to cover retirement benefits for its employees.


Republicans protested the bailout but made no significant effort to block the provision, which has now been attached to a stop-gap spending bill slated to come before the House and Senate in the next week.
How many pieces of mail does the Post office handle per day?
