Matt Taibbi from "Rolling Stone" has an editorial on the current Post Office problems. A friend of mine is a postal worker, we share a common interest in high powered automatic weapons(what, I see no problem with that), and he has told me about this problem before and I can empathize with his plight as the Republicans have always sought to disband the unions even if they have to force an organization that was breaking even into bankruptcy. My friend's job is on the possible chopping block. He may be forced to move to a different city or another state to stay with the Post Office as he has a lot of seniority and he would be ill advised to leave the Post Office when he is very close to having the years needed to retire with his full pension. It just shows how far the Republicans are willing to go to achieve their dreams of killing the middle class so there will only be the upper class and everyone else fighting for the scraps. I use the Post Office regularly to send and receive my bills and packages and I would like to see it be allowed to continue to survive. Could there be a less post offices due to the decrease in mail volume? Yes, there could be less, but to force the Post Office to fund their pension to 100% when no one else needs to just to kill the union and bankrupt the Post Office is a travesty. Thank you Mr. Bush, you putz!
