MoonShadow Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Congress has now allowed the Post Office to default right before they leave for the August break.I use USPS on small shipments, it's more cost effective. Anyone else worried about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Fields Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 No. I retired from the PO. The Post Office has been a political football ever since it divorced from the government. The PO threatens to close small post offices, cut Saturday delivery, etc.; scared people contact their congressmen and senators and cry, and the ball gets kicked a little further down the road until the next time. Sound familiar? This time, Congress is afraid of "bailing out" the PO and has waited until it blew up. Now they will act because their "hands are tied", and the voting public will not blame them. Congress years ago made the PO problem worse by raiding it to the tune of billions a year. They take, I think it's 11 billion from the PO to put in the general fund. So, no. don't fret. This will all work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
