Howdy y'all, As for the "somewheres" web page noted earlier, the link is copied below: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/here-comes-going-postal-sequel-us-postal-service-cut-120000-jobs-avoid-bankruptcy If the link does not work, copy and paste at your leisure. For more reading pleasure ... google USPS retiree demographics ... and pick your poison.
Pick out whatever numbers you prefer from any website you like to support whatever angle you are positioning. ad --- On Sun, 2/10/13, Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art <[email protected]> wrote: From: Richard Halegua Posters + Comic Art <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] OMFG: International shipping costs have shot through the roof!! To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, February 10, 2013, 3:03 PM semi-false information Al. what they mean is $41.15 after all benefits are factored in for the life of the employee and into retirement. however, I'm also not certain that the labor force is 80% of the USPS cash outlay and I wonder if that figure includes some sort of stipend for UPS & Fed-X employees whose jobs are USPS specific however, we must also keep in mind a very important factor: that the USPS is no charged with making a profit year-over-year. The task of the USPS is to provide a service that is written into the Constitution and breaks even financially. The origin of the post office was so that periodicals, which at that time were largely focused on advertising, and packages could be shipped and delivered promoting commerce in America and by which our nation's economy could benefit to help the nation onto a solid ground and to benefit the population. For over 150 years, Postmaster General (as I'm sure you know) was Cabinet level seat. This seat was eliminated under Richard Nixon, at the beginning of the period when Congressional members were starting to call for privatization of the USPS, something which would be a major disaster. If the Republican-led Congress in 2006 (I believe that's the year) had not mandated the USPS fund the retirement account for 75 years in advance, the USPS would only now start to be having certain financial troubles that it has been having at this point for 4 years, and I dare say that rates would not be at what is now a death-dealing increase to many small businesses, the people that the Republicans are always citing when trying to get through legislation.
