That Darn Tea Party going to ruin everything. Snicker /s
In many communities this will probably result in loss of Saturday delivery, no windows open Saturday at the post office, and ridiculously short hours Monday-Friday.
Like the old saying, I call cutting 120,000 postal jobs a good start...
Reality is a hard teacher.
ALL Federal Employees, past and present, should be in the Social Security and Medicare system ... THEN it will be solvent and work as it was designed. It’s a TRUST FUND, not a welfare entitlement.
THIS IS A GREAT REASON for Operation Wetback Two ... opening up jobs for US CITIZENS ...
Just sayin’
1911: Ronald Reagan born. Letter rate: 2 cents. Post card: 1 cent. In some cities deliveries were made 2 or 3 times a day.
Can we please fire my letter carrier?
I initially had the same views as many here... laughed that a federal agency is showing the ineptness of the federal government's ability to run programs like health care well.
Then when I read one of the posts that named all the Post Office leadership appointed by Obama, I figured this was all set up from the very beginning to get his cronies set up to get their kickbacks and get rich off of THEIR privatization.
Knowing those folk were all appointed by Obama, I would bet a dime to a dollar (if I were a better, lol) that if someone followed any new Post Office health care or retirement programs, they would find loads of money being made by Obama's cronies.
Do postal workers pay into soc sec? Are they involved in this ponzi scheme?
Completely privatize this and the problems will begin to fix themselves...of course...with NO gobmint interference.
I have not been to a post office in many years.
I get nothing by US POST any more but junk mail, everything is online. Even Jury Duty registration is online.
Why do we need the post office anymore?
One day a week, or twice a month delivery would be fine with me.
Baroom!!!
A shot across the bow.
