Postal Service default appears likely

[brentspeak]

64. “Whether the act will have its intended effect remains in doubt."

Is this Groundhog Day? Do I actually have to replicate my response to your earlier propaganda from Feb 2012? Guess so:

("former9thward", quoting APWU Legislative Director Myke Reid's testimony to Congress:

"The passage of the postal reform act was intended by Congress to preserve and protect the Postal Service for the American people, he said in testimony on behalf of the union." -- comments by the Legislative Director of the Postal Union in 2008 defending the Act

brentspeak: The APWU legislative director was a member of Congress, and was speaking on behalf of Congress in defense of the bill? Who knew? In any case, you (once again -- gee, what a surprise!) conveniently left out this portion of his testimony:

(brentspeak, quoting the rest of Reid's sentence former9thward left out

“Whether the act will have its intended effect remains in doubt."

So he wasn't even "defending" the bill, after all, was he? His appearance before the Postal Reform Committee was to send a warning to those who were seeking to dismantle and privatize the USPS not to misuse the provisions of the new law.

Ok, with that out of the way, fast forward to July, 2012:

former9thward:

You claim the union opposed it. BS

Is APWU the only postal union? You didn't know that? If not, why are you here on this thread acting as if you know what you're talking about? Meanwhile, other DUer's have stated that several of the unions opposed the 2006 bill at that time, but were powerless to stop it from being passed.

Would you like to quit now or later?
