[Berlum]

In today's The New York Times columnist Joe Nocera tells it like it is about Republican machinations which have, over time, brought the post office to this hour of reckoning. The consequences will reverberate far and wide...

"Welcome to the week the United States Postal Service defaults on a major obligation. D-Day is Wednesday, Aug. 1, when the Postal Service is obligated, by statute, to make a $5.5 billion payment, money that is supposed to be put aside to “prefund” health benefits for future retirees.

2. Don't you see? This is set up perfectly for Rmoney to fix!

Swooping in and relieving companies of their pension "obligations" is what he excels at!
