My response to Daniel Driscoll's question

Question:  will our postal services increase productivity and success when and if we peak out of this recession, or is this the beginning of the end of the Postal Service?

I believe that this is the beginning of the end for the postal service. With the economy the way it is now, I don’t see the Postal Service being able to pull themself out of this one. The application of modern technology has made it faster and more efficient to communicate and purchases our goods from the internet and ships them around the world. Private companies like UPS and FedEx have simply out-competed their federal counterpart and are going to come out on top in this situation. With ever shrinking budgets and cuts having to be made everywhere, I think its only a matter of time before The United States Postal Service gets axed.

What other federal organizations are slowly being shutdowns?
