>> The millions that have crawled next to the teat on the sow that is today’s government need to hit the streets to find a jab.

Because the private sector is creating so many jobs right now???

This article is a case of someone having a good point and then taking it to the point of absurdity.

The Postal Service spends most of its money on people. Wow! What should they spend it on? Speedboats? They deliver mail. By hand. That’s a labor-intensive business.

Nurses are a welfare program? Ever spend a any time in a hospital? They work their butts off. You see nurses constantly and see a doctor for about a minute.

The auto industry sells cars so it can hire more workers and bosses can go to the Bahamas? Well, the current business model has them making less cars, getting government handouts, laying off workers, AND the bosses still go to the Bahamas.

I suggest that you look a little further than the speedboats. I would strongly suggest that you look at the amount of supervision vs workers that exist in this organization.

There are more supervisors than are required and there is no interest in servicing the customer any more.

As a CPA I have a lot of involvement with this organization because of filing deadlines and clients trying to get returns out in the mail.

THEY DO NOTHING TO FACILITATE the first corporate and individual deadlines closing at 5:00 on Mar 15th and Apr 15th. This is criminal because of how many returns are filed on those two days along. I have seen them lock the doors with people still trying to get in line to mail returns.

They need the taxes to support them but have no responsibility to help them be collected. They only serve their rules and masters, the UNION and not the PUBLIC.

I could go on and tell you more but you obviously would not miss where the speedboats come in so I will bother you no more.

How much mail does a relatively young and healthy retired postal worker deliver? I believe they can retire at age 55 if they have 30 years of service. I will be lucky to retire at 65. I think that is probably the point. I am not saying that salaries for current postal worker reflect reality or anything like that, but paying the defined benefit retirement plan is probably what is killing them more than anything else. UPS and FedEx also deliver stuff but I am willing to bet that their personnel costs are considerable less than the USPS pays per employee.
