shouldnt food and social security checks have higher priority than the postal service delivering junk mail??

seeing how nearly all business, bank transactions, paychecks are made thru direct deposit, is junk mail delivery a necessity. it has not been self supporting for a long time as designed by congress anyway.

By law, entitlements HAVE higher priority. Postal service is on the discretionary spending portion, which is less than 30 percent of the whole budget.

DEY FOOD STAMP, Social Security, all that WELFARE is part of Entitlement Spending and it is on automatic increase each year, whether needed or not.

@Reason10 Social Security is considered an entitlement, incorrectly, in my opinion. However, it is funded independently and not part of the budget the other entitlements are tied to.
