Five Day A Week Mail Delivery

We've talked about limiting mail delivery to five days a week before, and it seems that the Postal Service is ready to approach Congress with the idea.  News here indicates that key Senators on the panel overseeing the Postal Service will oppose the change because of the "...hardship on people living in rural areas."

Is there any hope for reforming the rampant entitlement mentality of our nation when waiting until Monday to receive one's allotment from the direct mail industry is considered a "hardship"?

The Postal Service needs to control costs--cutting one day a week from the Service would save money.  This is a no-brainer.
