Screwing the American Post Office like screwing with American Economy
The prefunding ends in 2016, with or without congress returning all the overpayments to csrs and fers. The prefunding into the 75 future years is based on a workforce of 800k ee’s. We now have ,what, 600k. Even the payments already made would be enough to fund 600k ee’s.
I smell another bailout coming. Just like we bailed out Motorola, for the old tech scanners they are finally replacing now. We are going to bailout GM, the gov’t sold their shares of gm stock and now hits them with penalties on recalls. The usps will be used to bailout gm. Lets order another 200k vehicles at triple the cost, just like we did with the scanners and Motorola.
The economy is terriffic!
Health care is terriffic!
VA care is great!
Its all bushes fault!
I am glad us dems are running ‘er right in the crapper.
As a liberal with a guilt complex I think we all deserve what we are getting. WE deserve it.
The post Office had the largest wage increases under Reagan. Fact. Thats why I will never vote for a Republican. We do not deserve it.
Hey Mark….hows your economy?….Me I’m doing fine…..middleclass…..managing to tuck some away for retirement….pay off my kids student loans lol….but truly,overall me & the family are content….sure I wish I had a overflow of cash to spend lavishly but hey who does,…except if your in the lucky upper 5% of the people….and we all know how well THEY enjoyed the past few years…but anyways I thank God I’m alive & kicking,and only hope the best for everyone…..by the way,I know all about the USPS…I’ve worked there for 28 years.
right on tonyb if you vote rep you get what you deserve
TonyB Democratic Tool. How do you like the economy the Dem.s have given us? Thats is a great deal of everyone’s problem.
I Woud be interested in knowing how Deffazzo voted on the prefunding…..Morons like him also passed Obamacare not knowing the consequences.
Enjoyed the video.. She says we all need to step up.. Here’s a great idea. Stop voting the same REPUBLICANS in office that think PRIVATIZATION is the solution to every problem… What Democratic Senator or Rep in America wants to privatize the U.S. Postal Service??? NONE!!!!!! What Democrat is slashing chip, food stamps, no minimum wage increase, privatizing social security, slashing pell grants and wants to raise interest rates on student loans, slash infrastructure and bridge upgrades, slashing public education, wants charter schools, attacking private and public unions???? NONE!!! It’s all Republicans and those zillionaires KOCH brothers and Karl Rove.. Wake Up people. Get out and vote!!!!
If ya think what congress is doing to the USPS is bad, you should see what it’s own mgmt/eas is doing to it
The dismantling of the Postal Service has been going on “behind the scenes” and “under the radar” for at least 10 years now.
