3.2 Billion: What USPS Lost In Jan-Mar 2012

We had spotted multiple postal services stats in the past - not many positive stats though. We spotted this today:

"The U.S. Postal Service's financial struggles continued at the start of 2012, as the agency reported a $3.2 billion loss for the three months ended March 31.
The recession, declining volume in the type of mail that most Americans use and a congressional mandate to prefund retirement health care benefits continue to cause losses, the Postal Service reported."
