Republicans Forced Post Office to Close Saturdays

Been watching and waiting and no one has put that headline out there.
That is the correct headline

The 2006 CONGRESS PUT THE US POST OFFICE IN THIS MESS.

At the heart of the matter is a 2006 Congressional mandate put on the US Postal Service contained in the “Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006” to pre-fund healthcare benefits of future retirees, a 75 year liability over a 10 year period. No other agency or corporation is required to do this.

This provision costs the Postal Service $5.5 billion a year.

Dec 8, 2006: This bill passed in the House of Representatives by voice vote. A record of each representative’s position was not kept.

Dec 9, 2006: This bill passed in the Senate by Unanimous Consent. A record of each senator’s position was not kept.

SIX YEARS AGO
    pre-fund healthcare benefits of future retirees,
    a 75 year liability over a 10 year period.
Prefund healthcare benefits for retirees 
- 75 years into the future and 
pay for it in ten years

Good luck!!!!

No other agency or corporation is required to do this. 
No other business in the whole world is required to do this.  

The 2006 CONGRESS caused this!!! 

Another excellent - excellent writeup on this issue can be found at the Voter Legislative Exchange Council webpage.
