3. THE GOP STARTED THIS INSANE 75 YRS. ADVANCE PAYMENTS TO STOP USPS

This is a good example of the "poison pill" put into legislation to cause wreckage in the near future. First frig with workers schedules and lay off many, then close post offices especially small rural ones far from others, then stop Sat. delivery of mail...get it? Steady downgrades and morale busters for the workers, just to make a political RW statement about "shrinkin' da goverment", even though the PO does not tap into federal budget, it just has "congressional oversight", which is the crack into which this 2006 Bushian Pill was started. It is nasty and taking down all that use the PO, which are most of the citizens of this Nation. Is there an organization pushing against this steady draining of the PO's blood?
