Yes, I did make that mistake.But as usual, you're spreading Democrat Talking Point Lies, trying to smear almost everyone in the audience. You claimed:and now they've hit a new low, booing a member of the military serving in Iraq.What are the facts?The facts are that the audience booed a gay soldier serving in Iraq.So you wouldn't be the slightest bit disappointed if one of your kids was homosexual?No. My love for my children is unconditional.Typical of most government workers, Post Office workers screw Americans by using federal power to enrich themselves.It's a violation of federal law for anyone to put something in my or any American's mailbox. That effectively kills any private competition to the Post Office.That law ought to be repealed. Let the Post Office survive on its own or collapse.The post office does survive on it's own Puss.It takes not one penny of taxpayer dollars.The only reason it has a deficit right now, is because when Republicans lost control of the House in 2006, they quickly put through, in the lame duck session, a law (the 2006 Postal Accountability Enhancement Act),which requires the Postal Service to overfund their retirement plans by billions of dollars. If not for that law, they would actually have a surplus right now.According to The Postal Reporter, in 2010, an audit by the office of Inspector General showed that the FERS pension plan was overfunded by $6.8 billion, and they had previously reported that the USPS had overfunded its CSRS retirement obligations by $75 billion.As usual, the facts escape you.If you think that privatizing the Postal Service would be good for Americans, think again.For one thing, the Postal Service is not required to make a profit, therefore that keeps the cost of postage down, and for another thing, there are many rural areas that a private company would not find profitable to serve, therefore they would not deliver to those areas.
