We don’t need the Post Office to cut back.

So we should just employ millions of unionized workers with full benefits, pensions, etc even if mail volume is shrinking at greater than 10% per year?

Sorry, but I am not supporting more non-working, liberal voters with my tax money.

I’m a Postmaster and a majority of employees are veterans and it runs about 50-50 dems/repubs. About 10% are militant union types who drag everyone else down

No we shouldn’t simply pay people for not working. The post office IS cutting back.

All I’m saying is that we’re being duped. I work for the USPS and in our office we have a desperate need for more help that we’re not going to get.

But the USPS isn’t supposed to be a business, is my point. Ya, we can go on pretending that it is, and we can do things more efficiently to cut costs, etc. But the bottom line is the Fed Gov is supposed to support this service, just like it supports the military.

Is the military losing money? How much is their operational budget annually? How much are we “losing” every year?
