Misty: The Postal Service is an independent agency of the United States government...."Independent." Even as Post Office lobbyists desperately seek their the next bailout.They haven't gotten a bailout, have they?Once again you say they seek 'their next bailout' as if they've had many.I asked you about all those supposed bailouts once before, and this is how it went....The federal government for decades pumped money into the Post Office to keep it afloat. No, the word "bailout" wasn't used, but that's exactly what it was.Proof?Sorry, my time is more valuable than to provide proof to liars and fools.IOW, like most of the **** you post, you pulled that out of your ***. The Postal Service weaned itself away from tax subsidies between 1971 and 1983.The USPS did receive a $15 billion line of credit from the U.S. Treasury in the 1990s to help pay it's bills. It's now down to its last $3.5 billion.Hey Puss? Why don't you tell us why in 2006, the Republican lame duck Congress passed a law that required the Postal Service to pre-fund 75 years worth of it's retirement and health care obligation in a 10 year window?Now why do you suppose they would do that to the USPS, when no other government agency has been forced to do that?Think they had an agenda?If that law were repealed to allow competition, the Post Office would go belly up as private sector competitors offered Americans better, cheaper service.Keep fooling yourself Jackhole. The Post Office is required to deliver to a lot of areas at a loss, because they do not have to make a profit. If you think that FedEx or UPS is going to deliver to any area at a loss, you're nuts.And they sure as hell will not deliver a First Class letter for 44 cents.And like most government programs, it eliminated much of its competition by making it a federal crime to put anything in individual American's own mailboxes.Why do you keep saying that?What is it that you are you itching to put into people's mailboxes?You seem very anxious to get your hands on other people's mail for some reason.Remember this ridiculous plan you put forth a while back?The private sector cannot be forced to deliver mail to rural areas at a loss, like the Postal Service is obligated by law to do.People in rural areas will not be served by the private sector.Bulls***. If worse came to worse, it would be delivered in bulk to an area, divided into large parcels, and neighbors would help each other out. Wow, it'd be really tough for me to drive half a mile, pick up my mail and that of my neighbors a few times a week, right?The idea that Americans can't manage to get their own mail or help others is utterly absurd, leftist psychosis.Once again you seem very anxious to get your hands on your neighbor's mail. WTF?Neighbors will help each other out?Americans can get their own mail? ROFLMFAOOMFG! It's even funnier the second time around.
