This is from my town to LA...!!! and its a letter residential to residential.

1. Here is what happened....

And it deserves it's own post, so I'll take care of that next. This is a great explanation of what happened with the "next manufactured crisis"....

U.S. Postal Service

A manufactured crisis

In 2006, President George W. Bush and the Republican Congress passed a law mandating that the post office begin making massive payments to fully fund health care for its employees and retirees for the next 75 years. This is unheard of in the private sector. The "goal" was to fund health care costs for future employees who have not even been born. The projected payment is $5 billion this year alone.

Meanwhile, the postal pension fund is overfunded by $50 billion. A simple bookkeeping entry could easily balance out these two funds and solve this manufactured crisis.

Why did Bush and the Republicans pass this onerous mandate? It was envisioned that this phony crisis would lead to the breaking of the postal union. And second, the insidious, ultimate plan is to turn the post office over to private contractors with the result of massive campaign donations to the Republicans by prospective contractors before and after the post office privatization.

This was written by a private citizen in the postal union in Fla.
