Noooooot exactly true.
The USPS itself cut costs in the wake of significant financial problems, Congress simply declined to give them a requested $75B a few months back. A deal was reached this week - in light of attempts at improving their financial situation - to give them what amounts to a credit line of $10B for now with the key stipulation that the deals (long suspected to be sweetheart deals) cut with various shippers be available for Treasury to review.
As for delays, they're currently experience parcel volume that exceeds holiday levels, so that's rather predictable.
