yeah one is good government and the republicans crashed the world economy and lied us into war along with littel gems like this one to try and distroy the USPS
The republicans did this on purpose to try and kill the USPS so they could privatize it.
The founders didnt think it being private was a good idea
They were willing to pay for it all
They are responsible for what they do.
THEY DID THIS.

Good for UPS on knowing how to run a company
and once you kill the post office what will UPS charge you to deliver that letter?
are you suggesting the PO raise it prices as much?
Aaahhh yes, the wonderfully goofy partisan hack that has the vocabulary of a parrot.
"bwwaacck...republicans....bwack bwack conservatives are evil....bwack bwack"
Both of the major parties had a hand all our problems including the post office issues.
Until we can come together and realize both the far left loons and the far right nutters are equally to blame we will have nothing constructive to say.
We have simply become a nation of parrots for the partisan masters. The post office is a good example as none of this had to happen, yet because of the dumbass brinkmanship on BOTH sides of the aisle, nothing constructive gets done.
Postal Regulatory Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PAEA stipulates that the USPS is to make payments of $5.4 - $5.8 billion into the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, each year, from 2007 to 2016 in order to prefund 75 years of estimated costs. This requirement also explicitly stated that the USPS was to stop using its savings to reduce postal debt, which was stipulated in Postal Civil Service Retirement System Funding Reform Act of 2003.[4] This is in addition to deductions from pay for federal contribution to social services.[5] This pre-funding method is unique to the USPS. In June 2011, the USPS had to suspend its weekly payment of 115 million into the fund because it had reached 8 billion dollars in debt and the retirement plan had a surplus of 6.9 billion dollars.[6] The schedule rate of payment has been changed and the USPS is currently expected to make a payment of 5.6 billion no later than September 30, 2012.[7
