He was saying that as a joke... but of course that won't be mentioned.
Sorry, but it's Republicans that are systematically trying to destory these insitutions (social security, etc...). People love Medicare hate to tell you.
The post office, along with many large corporations go through blocks of losses. I worked for a company that had over 3 years of huge loses... they have money set aside to cover these loses. NO INDUSTRY can accurately predict it's next fiscal year. If this were possible, then there's be a lot of rich traders on the market, but there aren't. Most don't make it.
The mail industry JUST LIKE the newspaper industry is going through major market changed. And you're going to have loses until they adjust to the market (which they are doing).
I don't agree with your assessment. I think you're full of road apples.... If you can remember that far back, the Republicans have not been the only group to manage Social Security and Medicare in this country. Everytime it comes election time, all the politicians jump up and down and say we need to "fix" Social Security and Medicare. Well, guess what? After the elections are over nothing is ever done except for Congress to raid the money set aside for these two programs to pay for pork back in their home districts. Republican and Democrats alike are both guilty of this. You can call it a joke if you wish, but the Post Office is deep in the red and it will be so again next year. If you really want to turn your life over to be run by the government, then I think you are an idiot. It's proven history that the government can't run Medicare and Social Security and they can't manage your precious health care either. Take a deep breath and try to quit beating the liberal democrat drum long enough to think for yourself.
