Description:

U.S. Postmaster General Megan Brennan told House Oversight Committee members Thursday that the postal service will “run out of cash” by September, unless the government provides $75 billion in aid to make up for devastating pandemic-related operating losses. The $2 trillion stimulus package signed by President Trump last month authorized a $10 billion loan — but no direct grants — to the USPS. We’ll talk about what it will take to rescue the postal service, and why President Trump opposes emergency aid.
