[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 810389, member: 17969"] BRETT, do you actually read the stuff you link?? You say they are losing money? Yet, your own link factually sustains what I said in my post. To conclude, YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN. Here is what is sez in your link in part: Postmaster General [B]Patrick R. Donahoe[/B] said he's seeking changes to postal laws [B]"to enable a more flexible and sustainable business model.[/B] We are eager to work with Congress and the administration to resolve these issues prior to the end of the fiscal year." Lawmakers have yet to consider three postal reform bills that would address the mail agency's financial condition. Total mail volume increased last quarter by 1.5 percent to 707 million pieces delivered.[B][SIZE=3] But related revenues dropped 3.3 percent, or $520 million, as mailers opted for less expensive advertising mail instead of the costlier First Class option.[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=2]All you read was the part where the costs of healthcare and such increased leaving a shortfall, but leave out the reasoning for the shortfall.....AKA loss of revenue.[/SIZE] [SIZE=2]Where are you failing to understand this??[/SIZE] In the second link you posted, it begins with yet another sustained point of mine and furthers it by explaining how obama is CUTTING costs of the postal service by a couple of BILLION of dollars. Here it is: [B][SIZE=3]With mail volume and revenues plummeting, the Postal Service is on course to lose about $7 billion in the fiscal year that ends in September.[/SIZE][/B] The losses are due in part to hefty personnel costs not borne by other federal agencies. One is a requirement, imposed by a 2006 law, that it set aside money each year to cover the costs of future health insurance benefits for its retired workers. [B][SIZE=3]In the Obama administration's first substantive attempt to address the mail agency's woes, the budget would allow it to pay $4 billion less in those costs in 2011 than what is required by the law.[/SIZE][/B] If enacted, the mail agency would have to pay about $1.5 billion of those costs in fiscal 2012 and make up the difference in future years. Again, I ask you to explain how you read the word "hemmoraging" into your argument? Your own sources clearly say "LOSS OF REVENUE"....aka MY POINT. The closing of post offices is not in dispute as the postal service attempts to close the projected 16 billion dollar loss it expects this year alone. I am still waiting for you to explain how the government runs the postal service and what branch of the government is in charge of it like you represented?????? hOLdiNG mY BrEAtH Peace. [/QUOTE]
