The pain of financial crisis

1. US postal office just sent a mail on the adjustment of the mailing schedule after a decrease of 8 million first-class mail in 2001.

2. Jackson library in our school will be closed on Sat and Sun because of the lower budget caused by the financial crisis.

It's surprising on how the public system and education industry got affected by the financial crisis. Obama is going to be the President today. There are lot of things for him to do. A word "change" definitely can't change that much.
