The post office is fundamental to so many parts of our social and economic life, especially as you go from cities into small towns and on to rural America. No private company could do what they do without making the cost of mail substantially higher, and drastically increasing the time it takes for delivery.
The USPS provides an essential service to 10's of millions of people who rely on the Post Office as a means of timely delivery for so many things. It would be a serious hardship for these people if the Post Office were allowed to fail.
One of these things is voting by mail.

It's time to fund the post office through the budget.
