POST OFFICE BROKE. NEEDS 4 BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT. DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT RUN THE POST OFFICE? LOL
And These People Want To Run Health Care?!?
Massive deficits could force the post office to cut out one day of mail delivery, the postmaster general told Congress on Wednesday, in asking lawmakers to lift the requirement that the agency deliver mail six days a week.
If the change happens, that doesn't necessarily mean an end to Saturday mail delivery. Previous post office studies have looked at the possibility of skipping some other day when mail flow is light, such as Tuesday.
Faced with dwindling mail volume and rising costs, the post office was $2.8 billion in the red last year. "If current trends continue, we could experience a net loss of $6 billion or more this fiscal year," Postmaster General John E. Potter said in testimony for a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee.

This is typical of the the ability of the CLOWNS in Washington to run things. They can't run the Post Office and now they want to run our Health Care. The only difference is that they will not pour money into Health Care they will CUT Benefits.
ReplyDeleteYour headline is incorrect. I believe the the correct amount is $4 billion, not $4 million. What's a few million, billion or trillion when it comes to the Federal Government pissing away the tax payers money? Not to worry. The Feds will just print some more money and continue to destroy the value of our currency.
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that Obama said health care reform will be budget neutral. Since Obama said it, then it must be true because he never lies...right?
ReplyDeleteThe only real benefit from Washington is when they leave shit alone. They're little better than a mafia, with the empty suit at the helm.
ReplyDeleteOOPPPPSSSS....we apologize for the '4 million mistake.' We knew it was billion...because 'millions' don't exist anymore under these politicians....
