Harry Reid wants to "save the Post Office" because he says "seniors love getting junk mail-- it makes them feel connected to the rest of the world"---. WTH???? These are our government people???? It's no wonder the country is in the toilet if this is how they think!

No, no, no. Nice try, but the GOP did NOT ram this through. Give a call to Davis and Waxman and ask them why they co-sponsored it. Here are some facts.

Forgot to add to my post that the taxpayers DO support the USPS. Some more facts to toss over to you include the fact that they get much more than you think (not one single dime). They still get $100 MILLION each year.
"Although the USPS does receive an annual appropriation, the agency does not rely on
appropriations. Its appropriation is about $100 million per year, about 0.1% of the USPS’s $75 billion operating budget. Congress provides this appropriation to compensate the USPS for the revenue it forgoes in providing, at congressional direction, free mailing privileges to blind persons and overseas voters."
