The U.S. Postal Service is in big trouble, and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy says it’s time to make hard choices. DeJoy recently announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs and team up with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to fix the broken mail system. Critics on the left are screaming, but DeJoy isn’t backing down. He says the Postal Service needs to stop wasting money and start running like a real business.
For years, the Postal Service has been drowning in debt. It’s lost nearly $100 billion and could lose another $200 billion if nothing changes. DeJoy’s plan slashes bloated budgets and trims retirement costs. He’s already cut 30,000 jobs since 2021. Democrats and unions claim these cuts hurt rural towns, but DeJoy says tough love is the only way to save the Postal Service from total collapse.
Liberal politicians like Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly say DeJoy is sabotaging mail delivery. They act like slower mail is the end of the world. But let’s be real—how many people even send letters anymore? Americans get bills online and shop with Amazon. The Postal Service needs to adapt instead of clinging to the past. DeJoy’s job cuts and efficiency reviews are long overdue.
President Trump knows the Postal Service can’t keep bleeding cash. His DOGE partnership aims to weed out waste and fraud. Fake postage scams cost millions every year. Cracking down on cheats will save taxpayer money. Trump’s push to merge USPS with the Commerce Department would finally bring accountability. The Postal Service shouldn’t be a jobs program for union buddies—it should deliver results.
Privatization might be the answer. Rural towns worry about losing their post offices, but private companies like UPS and FedEx deliver faster and cheaper. Why not let businesses handle packages while USPS focuses on essentials? DeJoy’s lease reviews could shut down money-losing offices. If a post office can’t pay its bills, maybe it shouldn’t exist. Taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill for empty buildings.
Democrats and postal unions are fighting hard to block these reforms. They claim cuts will delay medicines and ballots. But under DeJoy’s leadership, the Postal Service is finally tackling its $65 billion pension crisis. The 2006 law forcing USPS to prepay retirement benefits crushed its finances. Fixing that mess requires bold action, not more bailouts.
The left’s hysterical warnings about “privatization” ignore reality. USPS still can’t turn a profit even after raising stamp prices. Meanwhile, DeJoy’s cuts have already saved billions. Letting Trump and DOGE streamline operations could finally make the Postal Service efficient. Americans deserve a mail system that works, not a sacred cow protected by big-government liberals.
DeJoy’s critics fear change, but the status quo is unsustainable. The Postal Service must modernize or die. With Trump’s support, DeJoy is making the tough calls liberals avoid. Slashing jobs and closing offices might hurt feelings, but they’re the only way to save this sinking ship. It’s time to put taxpayers first and stop coddling a failed government monopoly.
