No Mail Till Monday?

It's awful that our Postal Service is in debt and heading for collapse at this rate. I totally agree that changing mail delivery from 6 to 5 days a week is a good idea to save money (billions of dollars a year). However, I don't think Saturday is the right day to stop the mail flow. People already don't receive mail on Sunday, forcing them to wait till Monday to open bills, birthday cards and college acceptance letters. If mail is no longer delivered on Saturday, that means three days worth of mail in the mail box on Monday. This, I think, would cause more problems for Americans while fixing the postal service's debt. At one time, the Postal Service was looking at not delivering mail on Tuesdays. I think that is a better option and one that should be considered again.
