Weigh In: Postal Service Faces Bankruptcy, Proposes Slowdowns

Is slower postal service a travesty or a sign of the times?

Next spring first class mail delivery could slow down and the chance for stamped letters to arrive the next day could be eliminated as the U.S. Postal Service faces bankruptcy.  The cuts threaten to slow down the delivery of many things, including check payments, Netflix’s DVDs-by-mail and newspapers and could add costs to mail-order prescription drugs.

More details on the estimated $3 billion in cuts are expected to be announced later today.
