1. The USPS is self-funding.

Expect mail delivery in spite of all the GOP efforts to kill the USPS since 2006.

3. "Expect mail delivery ..."

I heard on the local news that the post offices will be open,
but they were unsure of home delivery.

4. Again, the USPS is self-funding.

The Gingrich shutdown had no effect, and when the last shutdown was threatened, the USPS instructed all associate offices that delivery would not be affected.

We shall see.
