Credit When It’s Due

But I’ll give credit (albeit grudgingly) when it’s due. Listen to these statistics, as recently noted by Strasser and Postmaster General John Potter:

1. An aggressive cost-cutting campaign undertaken during the last three years has shaved $8.3 billion from the agency’s expense column.

2. Postal employment numbers are the same as they were in 1984, yet the agency handles 65 billion more pieces annually and delivers to 43 million more addresses.
