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?Yes, to responsibly step by step reduce federal pension obligations, and they'll do more after Obama is dumped out of office in November.The Postal Service has overpaid as much as $75 billion into the federal retirement fund over the last 40 years.It's very well funded.And if it's about being responsible, then why is that something that no other public agency or private firm does?BTW Puss, if the first-class monopoly were lifted, as you are so eager to suggest, anyone and everyone can deliver anything and everything to your mailbox, including the local high school kids, illegals, or transients that any business may hire to deliver their advertisements.I can't even imagine what some of your neighbors would leave in your mailbox.Clem: ....they'll do more after Obama is dumped out of office in November.Yeah. Good luck with that. Santorum and Romney seem to be competing on who can bring more of the crazy.They're now to the right of the Taliban on women's issues.
