Broke US Postal Service finds money for elaborate party

Saturday mail delivery may be on its way out, but the U.S. Postal Service isn’t cutting back on their entertainment. According to a report by Mark Gongloff at HuffPost Business, “the thing to do when you’re broke is to throw an elaborate party.”

The Postal Service is hosting a reception, featuring Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco during a National Postal Forum meeting.

The over-the-top video invitation – estimated to cost nearly $8,000 according to the report – is small relative to the $1.3 billion lost in the fourth quarter. But the Postal Service could have appeared more fiscally prudent if they had used email or a quality paper invitation.

Okay why do they need to have a party?

Okay why do they need to have a party?

They have to pat themselves on the back for doing such a great job, typical bureaucratic logic.

Considering they are eliminating services because they say they need to save money, you don't think the people have a right to question them when they then waste our money to throw themselves a party? Seriously?

The Post Office isn't actually broke you dumb dick, the Congress has just artificially added present day liabilities to the Post Office that it doesn't actually have.

The post office doesn't spend our money you dumbshit, they are a separate budget from the general budget and are required to break even - i.e. they consume zero tax dollars.

My fuck can you people seriously be this ignorant?

Did you say 1.3 billion?

Wow - that's at rate of 5.2 billion a year.

You know what the USPS's pension pre-funding requirement amounts to? 5.5 billion a year. There's the difference. Its all in an artificially created requirement from Congress that no private business would ever have to submit to.
