The Truth Behind The Postal Service
ITS THE ECONOMY, STUPID - The collapse / bankruptcy of the Postal Service could
push the United States into a another recession. 550,000 Middle Class Postal jobs gone. 8.6 million jobs in supporting industries gone (magazines, sale flyers, direct mail, printing newsletters, etc.) The Mailing Industry generates $1.139 trillion in economic activity, 7% of GDP, Failure of the Postal Service will devastate our economy.
NOT THE INTERNET NOT THE RECESSION NOT PRIVATE COMPETITION CONGRESS IS KILLING THE POSTAL SERVICE - by a 2006 law that requires
5.5 Billion dollars extra per year paid into retirement / health care funds in a 10 year period to cover the next 75 years. Its not necessary. 2 independent audits show 50-75 Billion dollars in surplus.
PRIVATIZATION OF THE POST OFFICE WILL DECREASE SERVICE AND INCREASE COST
& the Banks that trashed our economy, put millions out of work & forced millions to lose their homes, now want to privatize, Steal the Post Office from the American People. Last year, the Post Office grossed $67+ billion. Vulture Capitalists will turn this into a $100+ billion profit industry, with increased mailing costs.
