The U.S. Postal Service will stop delivering mail on Saturdays beginning in August. The plan is to save about $2 billion per year, according to an Associated Press report. In case you don’t know, the USPS gets no tax dollars but is subject to congressional control. Wonder who came up with that plan?
According to the report, the agency’s biggest problem was not due to reduced mail flow but rather mounting mandatory costs for future retiree health benefits. Let me be sure I understand - congress controls the Postal Service, but gives them no money and they are broke because of government requirements that they pay in advance the retirement health benefits. Sound familiar?
The non mail delivery plan is called, "Obama Care."
