America’s Mail Service at Risk: USPS May Run Out of Funds in 12 Months.
The United States Postal Service is teetering on the brink of a cash crisis, with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy warning the agency could run out of money within a year. In response, USPS is pushing for a controversial hike in first-class postage to as much as 95 cents—the largest increase in decades—while also floating cuts to delivery days, including Saturday service. Critics argue these moves disproportionately burden ordinary Americans and small businesses while doing little to address systemic financial mismanagement and decades of underfunding mandated by Congress. The potential disruption has sparked heated debate in Washington, raising questions about whether the federal government should intervene or let the struggling agency shrink under its own fiscal weight.
