Again, then why the march on a Congressman if you parasites got it under control? Fix it without taxpayer dollars! It can't be and like Obumblears himself said: "If you think about it, UPS and Fed-X is doing fine, it's the Post Office that is always having problems" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj73rqEpr1A&feature=player_detailpage#t=45s Save your Marxist Union crap for your rank and file, the public is tired of all the public sector union parasites.

The Post Office needs the Republican corporate raiders (congressmen and senators) to quit trying to bankrupt them and turn things over to Halliburton.

The postal service is running the deficits that so concern conservative politicians and pundits not because it is inefficient, and not even because it faces new forms of digital competition. It is running deficits because it was forced to pre-pay seventy-five years of retiree health benefits in ten years, and because it overpaid federal pension funds by more than $80 billion.

Here is today's lesson on how the Tea party lemmings get sucked into supporting job destroying Corporate America. (They will not be satisfied until everyone is earning $8.00 per hour) The US Postal Service: 1. Receives no taxpayer dollars 2. Is funded by the products and services it sells 3. Working with its unions, has already reduced its workforce by 110,000 employees, improved efficiency, and introduced new products and services 4. Handles more than 40 percent of the world’s mail more efficiently and at lower cost than other services 5. Despite the growth of the digital world, continues to support a $1 trillion mailing industry with more than 8 million jobs 6. Has a workforce that is made up of 40 percent women, 40 percent minorities, and 22 percent veterans, many disabled There is a crisis, but it is not because the Postal Service is inefficient and its workers overpaid. It is because the Postal Service: 7. Is the only federal agency or private company required to pre-fund retiree health benefits for 75 years 8. Is therefore required to pay $5.5 billion annually to the Treasury, an amount not required of any other agency or company Without these unique requirements, it would have earned a surplus of over $600 million during the last four years. In addition, the USPS: 9. Has over-paid its obligations to the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) by an estimated $50 billion (and this money should be returned) 10. Has overfunded the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) by approximately $6.9 billion (and would be profitable if these funds were returned) The Republicans put that "Prefunding" requirement in to intentionally run the Post Office out of business! Wake up middle class America or $8.00 per hour, no benefit jobs will be the ONLY jobs!

If the USPS receives no taxpayer dollars, then why the march on a US House member? More communist union LIES. Parasites must die !!!

Fox 23 News...if you're going to report a story, at least get the facts right. There are 90 Oklahoma Post Offices scheduled to close, not FOUR, and 115,000 people across the country scheduled to lose their jobs in the next 2 years. Maybe the 35,000 number you mentioned was only for OK, but you didn't say that. OH, and even though letter volume has decreased, package volume has greatly increased due to places like Ebay and Amazon, and packages cost much more to mail than letters do, which is why the Post Office actually made $611 in profit in the last 4 years. The only reason the P.O. didn't get to keep/use its own profit is from overfunding the FERS & CSRS to pre-fund employee healthcare benefits, something the USPS employees neither need nor want.

Roadhunter- I bet your mother worked 56 hrs a week and was mandated to work the dreaded 7/12s each Thanksgiving to Xmas. You are not grateful that your mother provided for you so well? Did you take for granted all the sacrifices she made for you and your family? I guarantee you she earned every single cent if she really did make that 70k.

My mom worked for the post office in Tulsa. She made over $70K a year sorting mail. THAT, is what is wrong with the post office.
