The Current congress Has proven itself to be the most worthless collection of cretins America has ever assembled in on place.
Apologies to the minority which still believe in America and still hold honor as a value .
Do you think Congress should take their scheduled vacation and let the Post Office default on their retirement payment?

The Post Office Crashes and burns tonight at midnight and defaults for the first time in history on a 5.5 billion dollar payment towards retiree health. What is congresses answer? They are going on vacation. Not for a few days mind you. The whole month of August. They wont be bothering with such petty matters again until September, leaving the USPS to twist in the breeze.
In a stunning example of why government run businesses don't work usually, as the USPS urges congress to pass SOME KIND OF LEGISLATION, practically begging for some type of mention or even concern from congress. In 2006, Congress was quick to pass legislation upping the USPS's responsibility financially for a health benefit fund, but when it comes to passing legislation to help stop the bleeding, there is sadly no one home.

The post office is very well run and if the congress would not impose impossible requirements on them concerning retirement funding there would not be a problem.
I work for the USPS and here's hoping my paychecks don't bounce! This whole matter won't be solved until after the election. It's a political third rail like SS and Medicare. The Democrats are all in the pockets of the unions and there are a number of plans out there to save the postal service but no one wants to vote on any of them. They're all a bunch of cowards.
In reality, mail volume is down and they need to go to a five day delivery to survive at all. Otherwise, the taxpayer will be funding it.
Warning...don't think you're getting a true answer from the USPS themselves or the unions or any politicians being funded by the unions. The NALC is trying to say that Issa is in the pocket of UPS because they donated to his campaign but what they don't tell you is they did also and they're pissed because he's not doing what they want him to do.
