The Postal Service isn’t meeting its break-even goals under a 10-year reform plan. But House Republicans are drafting their own efficiency proposals for the agency.
GOP members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee are pushing back on USPS plans to purchase mostly electric vehicles in the coming years, and some are calling on the incoming Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to find additional ways for the agency to cut costs.
Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) applauded Postmaster General Louis DeJoy for coming up with the 10-year Delivering for America plan, but said the agency is “hemorrhaging red ink.”
“I appreciate the fact that you have a plan, and you’re trying to implement that plan. That’s what we want with DOGE. That’s what the American people want with DOGE,” Comer said.
