Postmaster General David Steiner will testify that the United States Postal Service needs regulatory relief and funding too stay solvent as it navigates chronic losses and a shrinking mail volume.<\/p>\n<p>Key points:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; USPS has lost money in most years since 2007, amounting to about $109 billion over the last 17 years, per a December 2025 GAO report. Its debt largely stems from retirement liabilities rather than operating costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Mail volume has declined from a 2006 peak of 213 billion pieces to about 109 billion last year, a trend Steiner says underpins the crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Steiner will propose three options: do nothing (risk running out of cash by year\u2019s end), impose severe cuts and price increases, or pursue a \u201cGoldilocks\u201d approach combining modest reforms, higher borrowing authority, and pension\/retirement funding changes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The core proposal is to raise the borrowing cap from $15 billion to about $30-$40 billion per year, and to reapportion CSRS contributions to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >reduce long-term amortization costs<\/a>. He also calls for more versatility in investing retirement funds beyond treasury notes and other pension reforms.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; He argues that increasing stamp prices to roughly 90-95 cents would address most controllable losses and highlights other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawsuit-alec-baldwin-had-no-reason-to-fire-gun-during-scene-being-rehearsed\/\" title=\"Lawsuit: Alec Baldwin Had No Reason to Fire Gun During Scene Being Rehearsed\">cost-cutting measures<\/a> already taken, such as reducing staff and transportation costs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Congress\u2019s response is expected to be mixed. Subcommittee Chair Pete Sessions emphasizes reliability and oversight, while members like Eleanor Holmes Norton will scrutinize the impact on the District and ratepayers. the hearing,expected around 2 p.m.,will feature Steiner and GAO\u2019s david Marroni.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The Supreme Court is noted as having protected USPS from lawsuits over undelivered mail, a backdrop to the ongoing policy and funding debate.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">What to know about USPS&rsquo;s dire financial state ahead of oversight hearing<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2534311\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Postmaster General David Steiner will testify before the House for the first time on Tuesday to ask Congress for regulatory relief to keep the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/usps\/\">United States Postal Service<\/a> afloat as it&nbsp;navigates dire financial straits.<\/p>\n<p>Per his written testimony before the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/house-oversight-committee\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1524\">House Oversight<\/a> Subcommittee on Government Operations obtained by the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>, Steiner will seek to raise the $15 billion borrowing cap that Congress instated in 1992.

USPS makes money from the sale of products such as stamps and shipping labels, as well as from services such as last-mile delivery and P.O. Box rentals.<\/p>\n<p>USPS&rsquo;s revenue system has largely allowed it to break even with its operating expenses and controllable costs. However, the service runs into debt largely when it comes to its retirement liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The main problem in terms of the debt has always been &ndash; at least for the last 15-or-so years &ndash; how they have to pay off their liabilities associated with the pensions and the retiree health funds,&rdquo; <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.savethepostoffice.com\/about\/\">Save the Post Office<\/a> advocate Steve Hutkins told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After nearly two decades of operating at a loss and periodically <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3470576\/cost-of-postal-stamps-usps-price-increase\/\">raising the price of stamps<\/a>, USPS is calling for action from Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner will tell the subcommittee that the &ldquo;drastic reduction in the use of mail,&rdquo; from the peak of 213 billion pieces sent in 2006 to 109 billion pieces sent in the past year, is what has led the postal service to its current crisis.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In the time since peak 2006 mail volume, the Postal Service was thrown overboard and instead of tossing us a life jacket, we were thrown an anchor,&rdquo; Steiner will testify.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner has warned repeatedly that this could be the last operating year of the postal service if the federal government does not step in to help.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;At our current run rate and if we continue to pay our required obligations in the same manner as we have done in recent years, then we will be out of cash in less than 12 months. So, less than a year from now the Postal Service will be unable to deliver the mail if we maintain the status quo,&rdquo; Steiner will testify.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner will list nearly 10 concrete reasons for the funding struggles. He will testify that USPS is unfairly &ldquo;regulated like a monopoly&rdquo; by the Postal Regulatory Commission, with standards like the limit of one price increase on services per year. He will also testify that the way the service has to allocate its Civil Service Retirement System benefits to its retirees is &ldquo;disproportionately high,&rdquo; that the borrowing cap is too low, and that the service should be able to invest its retirement funds in places other than Treasury notes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steiner-s-proposed-solutions\">Steiner&rsquo;s proposed solutions<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of his opening statement, Steiner will present three options to Congress. First, do nothing, and USPS will run out of cash by the year&rsquo;s end. Second, make severe service cuts and price increases &mdash; including increasing the price of stamps to over $1.00 &mdash; that will likely not be favored by Congress or the American public. Or third, go for what he will call &ldquo;common-sense and reasonable solutions&rdquo; and the &ldquo;Goldilocks option.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the &ldquo;Goldilocks option,&rdquo; Steiner will primarily ask Congress to raise its $15 billion cap on borrowing from the Treasury, a limit that Congress has <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/the-us-postal-services-fiscal-crisis\/\">never adjusted<\/a> and one that USPS hit years ago. Steiner will suggest in his testimony that if inflation over the 30-year period were applied to the borrowing limit or if it were evaluated based on USPS revenue, it should be raised to &ldquo;$30 to $40 billion&rdquo; per year.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am confident that we can grow revenue, reduce costs, and solve our financial predicament. But that takes time, and we don&rsquo;t have a lot of time. One small and easy action, increasing the borrowing limit, buys us that time&mdash;time that we can use to determine what the Postal Service should do to best serve the American public,&rdquo; Steiner will say.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of this third suggested solution, Steiner will also ask Congress to reapportion how much the Postal Service contributes to the Civil Service Retirement System, a reform Steiner says each stakeholder and union is in favor of. He will testify that the reapportionment would &rdquo;provide the single biggest contribution to our long-term financial stability.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It would not only eliminate the Postal Service&rsquo;s annual CSRS amortization expense (which last year alone was over $3 billion), it would also ensure the solvency of the Postal Service&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/data-debunks-ocasio-cortezs-claim-that-americans-need-postal-banking\/\" title=\"Data Debunks Ocasio...Cortez\u2019s Claim That Americans Need \u2018Postal Banking\u2019\">retiree health benefits fund<\/a> for decades. Currently, that fund is projected to be exhausted in the early 2030s,&rdquo; Steiner will say.<\/p>\n<p>Steiner will also suggest that the federal government should grant it more flexibility in the investment of USPS retirement funds beyond Treasury notes, reform USPS&rsquo;s pension funding obligations, and reform the way USPS can handle workers&rsquo; compensation expenses.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;These reasonable changes amount to billions in savings and provide us the time and space to take continued self-help actions and to have the discussion about what the Postal Service should do to best serve the American public,&rdquo; Steiner will say.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-expect-from-the-members-of-the-subcommittee\">What to expect from the members of the subcommittee<\/h2>\n<p>Subcommittee chairman Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/pete-sessions\/\">Pete Sessions<\/a> (R-TX) has grimly marketed the testimony as an opportunity to &ldquo;assess whether USPS is reliable enough for Congress to allow it to borrow more money from the Department of the Treasury.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;USPS is rapidly losing money and becoming more unreliable each year and is dire need of a course-correction. While some progress has been made to improve USPS operations, there is still much more work to be done to reform the agency and make up for the billions it has already lost. The Government Operations Subcommittee remains committed on a bipartisan basis to transform and modernize USPS, and I look forward to hearing from Mr. Steiner on his plans to improve its dependability,&rdquo; Sessions said in a statement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sessions will certainly be a member to listen to keenly as he questions Steiner.

In his prepared remarks, he plans to push to raise the $15 billion borrowing cap set in 1992, seek higher stamp prices, and change how the service funds its pension and retiree-health liabilities.<\/p>\n<p>USPS has lost money in most years since 2007, racking up about $109 billion in losses through the mid-2020s, funded by the agency\u2019s own revenue rather than taxpayer dollars. The biggest driver of the shortfall is retirement-related obligations, while a sharp drop in mail volume-from 213 billion pieces in 2006 to roughly 109 billion last year-has strained finances. Steiner will argue that the decline in mail volume left USPS adrift after years of losses and that without urgent help, the agency could run out of cash soon. He estimates the service could be out of cash within less than a year if current practices continue and calls for several fixes, including changes to how it\u2019s regulated, how CSRS benefits are allocated, and the ability to invest retirement funds beyond Treasury notes.<\/p>\n<p>In his opening, Steiner will outline nearly ten reasons for the financing squeeze and present three paths for Congress: do nothing (leading to a cash crisis by year\u2019s end), impose severe service cuts and price hikes (likely unpopular), or pursue a \u201cGoldilocks\u201d middle ground. The centerpiece of the Goldilocks option is raising the Treasury borrowing cap-potentially to $30-$40 billion per year-and reforming CSRS contributions, pension funding, and other flexibilities. He argues these steps would buy time to pursue revenue growth and cost reductions, while also freeing the USPS from some burdens and allowing smarter retiree-health funding. He also asks Congress to broaden investment options for retirement funds and reform workers\u2019 compensation costs.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the subcommittee-including Rep. Pete Sessions and others from districts with many postal workers-are expected to grill Steiner about reliability and debt while weighing the costs to ratepayers. Steiner will point to cost-cutting measures already taken, such as reducing the workforce and trimming local transport, and will argue that letting stamp prices rise to about 90-95 cents would largely address controllable losses. The hearing, set for around 2 p.m., will also feature David Marroni of the GAO.<\/p>\n<p>55-character title:<br \/>\nUSPS finances dire as Steiner seeks cap raise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3976,"featured_media":2580726,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USPS-1.webp?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[11416,5618,75950,11330],"class_list":["post-2580725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-finances","tag-oversight","tag-postal-service-2","tag-usps"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/USPS-1.webp?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2580725","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3976"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2580725"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2580725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2580729,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2580725\/revisions\/2580729"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2580726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2580725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2580725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2580725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
