The post office has been facing a pending liquidity crisis for years. The $10 Billion emergency funding from Congress was a stop-gap only. It's obvious that the USPS revenue is insufficient to cover costs. It can be privatized or made part of the federal budget, but one way or other funding will be found for this essential service. Your USPS money order will not bounce, just deposit it. Many businesses have little or no cash on hand. Many folks believe that UPS or FedEx could take over the postal operation and run it more efficiently. That may be, but we need to be careful what we wish for, as I think there would be huge sticker shock at the pricing.
