The Post Office, unlike the EPA, DOE, (do I need to continue?) is explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, and unlike those other departments which dispense favors to you and yours, if not directly then through your beloved private enterprise, actually brings in revenue! Duh!
You are so right my FRiend. At least they bring in money and do not punish business!
————actually brings in revenue! Duh!
just not enough revenue......far far far far from enough....
the agency is so low on cash that it will not be able to make a $5.5 billion payment due this month and may have to shut down entirely this winter unless Congress takes emergency action to stabilize its finances.
“Our situation is extremely serious,” the postmaster general, Patrick R. Donahoe, said in an interview. “If Congress doesn’t act, we will default.”
In recent weeks, Mr. Donahoe has been pushing a series of painful cost-cutting measures to erase the agency’s deficit, which will reach $9.2 billion this fiscal year.
