U S Postal Service was created by the Continental Congress before there was a United States of America. It was created for the sole purpose of "binding the nation together". Since it's creation every dime of excess income has been stripped by Congress and put into the general fund. At no time in the past have incoming funds been put in reserve and held for future upgrading of service. All other delivery companies operating do not have any responsibility in law to ensure anything is ever delivered to you. The only responsibility of private delivery is determined by company policy that you really do not get a chance to see. If the USPS is forced to shut down you have no recourse through your elected representitives for any errors made minor or gross. All delivery rates would be set by private boards of directors. In essence rates of delivery and areas of service would be determined by where the most money is. Under this system you would are required to go down to a central location to move any item, including letters, as there will be no one coming by on a daily basis to pick up your mail unless you open and pay for a corpoate account. Delivery and responsibility will not be a phone call away. Legal service for judicial purposes will only be possible thru private process servers or by paying local law enforcement to serve papers. There are other problems inherent with the dissolution of the USPS, not the least of which is that it is one of the main methods of providing election, educational, judicial, contracts, letters, rural, apartment, pharmacy materials to a location without the nesessity of paying for private location pick up before paying a seperate fee for delivery.
