They have been trying to execute another BRAC(Base Realignment and Closure), along with eliminating equipment/airframes/operations(etc), for years! But, the Senate/Congress have prevented that, as they don't want those reductions in THEIR BACKYARD(s)! So, I'm sure this will be/has been an issue in USPS operations. So, guess where the problem lies?!

Exactly what the new Post Master General at USPS is trying to accomplish, but Congress and the media like playing games.
