as has often been the case recently, help for them will probably come at the last minute, but given these stats, I don' t see how Congress could get away with letting them die:

The U.S. Postal Service has a 90% approval rating and only an 8% disapproval rating. That is a +82% net approval rating, higher than any other federal agency in the United States. The American people overwhelmingly support the U.S. Postal Service. pic.twitter.com/2lwXIaikji

On the contrary. Use the heck out of it. Make the service ask what the heck to do with all these letters and cards that people assumed would get somewhere.
It is the GOP weak link. "Crap, I thought that was still working too."

ETA: A lot of the influence upon seniors by the GOP is through "mailers." When the boys and girls at the White House get the memo, watch them change outfits like people changing outfits quickly.
