Obama Throws Support Behind USPS Five-Day Delivery

WASHINGTON, DC—It seems that Pres. Obama is coming to the aid of the U.S. Postal Service, at least to an extent. Obama has said he is in favor of ending Saturday mail delivery and increasing postage rates.

The proposals were part of Obama's deficit reduction recommendations, the Washington Post reported. However, the president would not back the idea of the USPS breaking its labor pacts or laying off 120,000 workers.
