The USPS has been around for how many hundred years? Surely Mr. Franklin knew what he was doing when he established a responsible group of people to handle the important thing we call "the mail". I am a window clerk and do you know how many people are so appreciative that we are here?? And do you know how much is involved in the mail delivery process? I accept mail, plenty of it, and the people who entrust their packages and mail with me are counting on it getting where it is destined to go. I hear every day how the USPS is so much cheaper than FedEx and UPS. They are grateful for us. The people who ship though Ebay are grateful, businesses are grateful, people who have to return things they buy are grateful. And the people who work the machines, and those machines are remarkable I might add, as well as the mail carriers who deliver the mail, and the facilities and the vehicles - do people really understand all that is involved and the costs involved? We report an income in spite of these expenditures but the yearly pre-funding of 5.5 billion dollars is completely unnecessary and an unrealistic obligation of WHO???? Answer me that people in Congress who don't want to address this issue, but instead want to lay off our valuable employees and cut our incomes and benefits. We perform a valuable service, one that the American as well as international people (we DO deliver mail from other countries) depend on us to perform. This pre-funded money is no where to be seen...isn't that illegal people of Congress? Tell us where that money is and tell us why you want us to keep giving it to you. And then leave us alone to do our business. What would YOU do without us?
