If USPS doesn't blink and stand their ground...

[cynatnite]

tRump will back down on his threat to block aid.

Not only that, does he want to add 600,000 more people to the unemployment lines nationwide?

This is a weak threat, IMO.

1. still waiting for democrats to back up the usps...with legislation not talk nt

[Salviati]

3. Why blame the democrats, when this is all republican doing?

Why complain about democrat inaction, when you can't be bothered to find that they did pass a bill in the house that would go a long way towards helping?

Without control of the Senate and the white house, after passing legislation in the House, talk is all we have, that and winning elections in the future, which complaining about democratic inaction in the face of the facts is not going to help.

2. Agree. trump isn't going to allow them to fail, although he won't

make it easy.

The Care Act authorizes a $10 Billion loan from Treasury, that will get them at least through this year. It would be nice to see their long-term future secured, but this is not time to expect that.

trump says he’ll help if they raise their package shipping rates. So they’ll raise their rates a little, and everyone will declare victory.

Or an impeached pResident?
The man who wants to inject Lysol?

7. IF USPS runs out of money, not a matter of blinkingm they will have to vastly reduce or shutdown

services.

NOT A WINNER for trump or GOP

8. You're assuming Trump is a rational actor.

I am less sanguine.
