What a great post!

Thanks so much for sharing the information. If there's a possibility that I'll learn one new thing, I consider it time well spent.

You've got my curiosity going.

"Marvin worked for the United States Postal Service for 30 years, ultimately becoming the financial controller for Northern California."

Got a chuckle out of that, since the USPS has been running in the red for I don't know how many years. It continues to persevere on the backs of us tax payers by virtue of Congress. I will try to keep an open mind since their sorry state of affairs is not a result of one person.

Wrong info on USPS

Yours is a very common belief, but just for the record, the USPS receives no taxpayer money. The biggest reason they're having financial problems is that Congress passed a bill requiring them to pre-fund their pension plan for something like 75 years into the future within a 10 year period. Lots of sources tend to leave that out, though.

I'm not sure I have the numbers exactly right (you can Google it), but the concept I believe is correct. It appears there are individuals who are being lobbied by or have some interest in the competition of the postal service. Sorry to get into that here on this forum, but couldn't ignore false info.

(I'd google it myself, but time to leave for an appt...)

They have to pay retiree health benefits

75 years into the future. And no - taxpayers don't pay anything - USPS is completely self-funded.

Agree public is misslead

In two weeks the US Treasury will satisfy the USPS debt, as they did last Oct.1st when they paid out 16.7 BILLION dollars. Postal employees must be paid through general revenue, but all other expenses are put on credit until end of fiscal year when the US Treasury must satisfy all US government agency debt. Essentially, taxpayers are cleaning up the waste products of ineffective management. My husband witnesses their ineptness 5 days a week. He says they averages over two million dollars of grievances a year because they can't follow through on their own policies.

Yes, the public is definitely being feed miss-information.
