*** Protecting the Timely Delivery of Mail - House Oversight Hearing***

[crickets]

108. Rep Rouda calling out the Repub supported trump scam to shake confidence in mail-in voting.

DeJoy's letter to the 46 states calling delivery of ballots into question is feeding that. Mail is being delivered late, hurting businesses, veterans, and others needed prescriptions. Points out that USPS delivers almost everywhere with no mandate to make a profit. Also points out how USPS is hobbled by the 75 year prefunding of health benefits and pensions, which is widely disapproved by postal workers, board of governors, and bipartisan members of Congress. Free business advice: the bill to change that and free up billions is on McConnell's desk, tells DeJoy to call McConnell and ask him to pass it.

DeJoy has no problem with the pre-funding mandate. He supports it.

DeJoy is "working on" making changes to his future business plan for the USPS. DeJoy claims USPS should be self-sustaining, Rouda points out that eliminating the pre-funding would accomplish that. [obviously, duhjoy.]
