US Postal Service tells Congress it needs help, running out of cash

- U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner will tell Congress on Wednesday that the financially struggling agency has a broken business model and needs help from lawmakers to turn around its operations.

"The bottom line is that we are out of cash. We are borrowing from our employees’ retirement funds to continue operations," Steiner's written testimony before a U.S. Senate committee says, warning it could run out of operating funds in months if it stopped deferring obligations. "The Postal Service has a broken business model."
