[C. Edmund Wright]

Oh right, the USPS is given a monopoly, prime real estate locations, and billions each year to shore up their operating deficit: SEE: "President Obama's proposed 2012 budget doesn't say anything about raising stamp prices, ending Saturday mail deliveries or closing post offices, but it tries to remedy the U.S. Postal Service's perilous financial condition by recommending about $11 billion in relief. With mail volume and revenue plummeting, the Postal Service is on course to run a $7 billion deficit in the fiscal year that ends in September and, in the process, to run out of cash as it exhausts its line of credit with the U.S. Treasury. The losses stem in part from hefty personnel costs not borne by other federal agencies. One is a requirement, imposed by a 2006 law, that it set aside money each year to cover the costs of future health benefits for its retired workers. In the Obama administration's first substantive attempt to address the Postal Service's fiscal woes, the budget would allow the agency to pay $4 billion less toward future retiree health benefits than otherwise required. The mail agency would have to pay about $1.5 billion of those costs in fiscal 2012 and make up the difference in later years. Highlights? Postal service runs a deficit for retirement costs, and that deficit is paid by the tax payer. Its a shell game, a government agency, with a given monopoly, and they still lose tons of money.

It's constitutionally identified as a federal function and it is paid for with postage and fees, not your taxes! ...muawiyah

Checkmate.

Well, we absolutely can conclude that muawiyah is NOT an accountant.

A federal teat bureaucrat ala Cliff Claven? Perhaps. But with a screename like Muawiyah: the first Caliph of the Umayyad Dynasty, it is possible that he is a liberal muslim troll impersonating Cliff Claven!

Question: Why did the directors of Men In Black pick a postal worker for the job that K takes we he leaves MIB? Hmmm. Inquiring minds would like to know.
