Federal agencies spurn using financially troubled Postal Service for deliveries

The Washington Guardian reports:
Many Americans have stopped using the U.S. Postal Service in favor of private carriers like UPS and FedEx. And now, it seems, so has the federal government.
There's more:
In fact, despite spending $337 million last year on shipping, federal agencies only gave the financially troubled Postal Service $4.8 million in business - less than two percent.
What better proof that mail delivery isn't a public good!
