Reply #15: straight from the US Treas [View All]

Oh really now. My pension doesn't come from the US Treasury. You should also differentiate betweem the CSR retirees and the FERS retirees if you are such an expert. If it's such a huge misnomer that the USPS is self-fupporting then why don't you support your statement with some facts.

If you're going to post BS statements like these, then how about backing them up with some statistics and figures to support them.

The USPS is as close to being self-supporting as any government corporation or entity you will see in this country. In fact, not only is it self-supporting but it is required by law to support all the "Welfare Mailers" such as Non-profits (can you say religous orginizations), Bulk Business Mailers, and our very own Congressmen.

The OP is correct that it is somewhat top-heavy but having done a few of those jobs(FSM Supv., Dock Supv., etc.)for 35 years, I assure you it is not in the local management.

If the rest of the Federal Government was as effecient as the USPS we could all have tax cuts and still maintain the budget without defecits.
