15. BINGO! The GOP caused this mess in 2006 intentionally

Thu Apr 12, 2018, 09:16 PM

Apr 2018

Anyone interested can read about it in the two articles below that sum it up very well. The USPS was doing just fine before the Grand Old Pirates passed the "Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act" of 2006. They basically broke in their house and stole all their money and then turned around and blamed them for not being able to pay their bills. They are the ultimate racketeers and unfortunately the deplorables keep electing these disgusting con artists and thugs.
