About this episode
The United States Postal Service has delivered mail for 250 years, from the busiest cities to the most remote parts of the country. But decades of money troubles have left the USPS billions of dollars in debt.
Now, the postmaster general warns that the agency could run out of money by October – and is urging Congress to save it.
We explore the uncertain future of USPS with a panel of experts.
