Whether it’s due to the advent of email, the rise of private shipping services, or the lingering effects of a lagging economy, the U.S. postal industry has taken a significant hit in recent years.  After drastic reductions in both personnel and facilities, postal officials are still scrambling for ways to stop the bleeding, including talk of reducing service days for people to receive mail.  Have any of these solutions made an impact?  Phil Herr of the Government Accountability Office has been charged with crunching the numbers that drive this struggling industry, and he talks with American Entrepreneur Radio guest host Mike Kauffelt about what he has found, and just how badly the postal industry has struggled.
