The President is reportedly planning to put the U.S. Postal Service under direct control of the Commerce Department, a move the USPS is expected to fight. What do you think of this plan?

From The Wall Street Journal. President Trump is making plans to disband the governing board that oversees the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the agency into his administration, throwing the future of the mail provider’s quasigovernmental status into doubt.

Trump is preparing to issue an executive order, possibly this week, to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board and put the agency under the direct control of the Commerce Department, according to two government officials. The plan was earlier reported by the Washington Post late Thursday.

The Postal Service board is expected to fight the move and is exploring legal action, one official said. …

The plans renew questions over the future of the 250-year-old Postal Service. In December, Trump, when he was then president-elect, said at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida that he was thinking about privatizing the agency, a move he frequently pushed for during his first term. …

The first Trump administration attempted to privatize the Postal Service as part of a broader plan to reorganize the federal government, a step it said would cut costs and give the financially burdened agency greater flexibility in adjusting to the digital age. Labor unions protested, and the proposal failed to gain support in Congress. …

The Postal Service has been hemorrhaging money for years because of declining mail volumes, limits on what it can charge customers, and a costly mandate to deliver to around 168 million delivery addresses six days a week. …

For the 2024 fiscal year, the agency reported a net loss of $9.5 billion, which, after adjusting for workers’ compensation and retirement liabilities, resulted in a controllable loss of $1.8 billion. …

Lord Jesus, I ask that you guide Pres. Trump. Father let people see that he is only about making America efficient and not wasteful with expenditures for too many agencies. the left leaning establishment does not like change and is downing, criticizing any move of Pres. Trump to better, in his estimation, our country. I pray You open their eyes Father, to the fraud and abuse which has occurred and to Trump’s businessman heart and experience to make us a better nation. I ask Your protection and blessing on our President and that peace and more unity would come to America. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, amen

We pray for wisdom for President Trump. We see how bloated the postal service is just like every other government agency. Most days all we receive is junk mail that goes straight into the trash. Why? We pray you’d give our leaders creative ways to slash cost. Just delivering mail every other day would cut many costs. We pray you’d show us how to make all of our agencies run without deficits every year. Show us how to be good stewards.
