USPS Rate Denied

From Yahoo News:
"Postal service denied rate increases for mail"

I have to say that hearing this news put a smile on my face. The USPS was finally told to start cutting from their organization rather than simply taking more money from us. I have seen numerous little towns on a 1 hour drive that all have a Post Office. Maybe the USPS should consolidate them. That would save a lot of money if it happened around the country. My town doesn't even have its own Zip Code and we use the Post Office in the next town so I know what I am talking about. People blame e-mails for the low USPS usage, but you would think that the heavy increase in Amazon.com, E-bay and other sites would mean more packages being mailed.
