John Oliver on why the Postal Service is on 'the brink of collapse'
"The United States Postal Service (USPS), Oliver explained on Sunday’s episode, has been a “Republican punching bag” for years. Critics frequently cite it as a hallmark of government inefficiency due to its massive debt, currently estimated at $160.9 billion, he said. But as Oliver pointed out, much of that debt was due to the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA)."
