Who elected the postmaster general lord and master of our postal service?
The United States Congress, the House and Senate, voted to keep mail delivery at six days but the postmaster general is still pursuing the plan to cut Saturday service. That would amount to a lot more than an inconvenience to the 22,500 full-time letter carriers that would lose their jobs as a result. The solution to this fiasco is simple. Two things need to change. The first is to nix or revamp the postal services plan to pre-fund retirement for the next 75 years over a 10-year period at the cost of $5.6 billion. The second is to change the law that makes it illegal for the postal service to make a profit. Then someone needs to tell these people that there’s a difference between not making a profit and losing billions of dollars a year. Ask Donald Trump. He’ll tell ya.
