I couldn't have my small business if I had to pay the inflated Private sector prices of UPS or Fedex to ship, and millions of small businesses just like me could not either....
And this is the fault of Republicans that introduced and passed a law that makes the USPS fund retirements of their employees out 75 years. There is ABSOLUTELY NO private sector business or gvt agency that is REQUIRED BY LAW to fund pensions upfront for the next 75 years and for employees that have not even been hired yet....it's typical bullcrap DONE BY THE Republicans to FORCE USPS in to bankruptcy so they can support their corporate masters at UPS and FEDX.
google is your friend, read up on it....
thanks. i just linked to that information. but you're 100% correct
I would like to link also; would it be possible for you to share the mystery, O' Wise One?
Well, I ran out of patience waiting for whatever partisan blog blames the RepublicanPartyRightWingVastConspiracyCheneyBushIraqWarBigOil.
Rather I went to the USPS very own website.

Nothing about Republicans there.
However, I found something on page 6 very interesting: the deficite included $11.1 B in retiree manditory health benefits, and the USPS is begging congress and the administration to allow them to provide health benefits to retirees and employees....
INDEPENDENT OF THE FEDERAL SYSTEM!
I love the irony.
