This is one thing that is in the Constitution. The problem with the Post Office is that they have to have every hire completely paid into the pension system for 80 years of their life. Now of course they are going through hell now but actually they will be the last ones standing when everyone else’s pension, 401K and other retirements are dead. The Postal Workers will be the only ones living. Still it is quite a strain on the Post Office. I notice that my Amazon packages are coming through the Post Office which I think is new. It used to be UPS. The Post Office are still getting my packages to me in a timely manner.

Congress required them to OVERCOMMIT money to pensions, which is what put them in the red in the first place.... If they were allowed to contribute as they were before this insanity they would be in the black.... Blame the chiefs not the indians.

We wipe them our with a “pen and a phone”. if they go postal we take them out. Pretty simple. They steal— they suck— the loaf and they are worthlessness. End them .

The only thing that is in the Constitution, per the Postal Clause (Article 1, section 8, clause 7), is Congress having the power to “establish post offices and post roads”, not to maintain same.

Jefferson was right when he predicted the interpretation of this clause being implemented far beyond what was specifically stated turning the postal service into an establishment of political patronage. Even worse, it is still tied to the executive branch, which is not in the Constitution (but is an extension of an idea by John Jay).
