New Plan Surfaces For Postal Service

A new plan to fix the Postal Service has hatched in the Senate. It would cut Postal employment by 100,000 but keep mail delivery at six days a week. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said his plan would let Postal spread out annual payments to the retiree health care plan. That's something Postal officials have been requesting for years. Last year the Postal Service lost $8 billion. It's on track to lose even more this year. Lieberman said his Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee will take up the bill next week.

Here we go again-the idiots in the government trying to fix something else when everything they have already "fixed" is broken worse than ever at our expense. Let the post office fold. There would be a dozen privately run companies up and running in three months that would do the job much more effficiently than the government ever could.
