When politicians create rules so unrealistic that there can be no other logical conclusion other than that the intention is to force the USPS into bankruptcy.

Now these insane amounts of funds that the USPS is required to save for pensions & retirement are being raided for other purposes?



It is fraudulent just as Ed says!

I'm glad Ed has kept up on this story and puts the blame squarely where it lays....

It's a Dem/American issue and if the public fully knew about it, they'd be against it.

Unfortunately though, Dems are just not engaged in fighting for Democratic issues anymore.

USPS says they are out of business in October. Sounds like a certain train wreck to me.
