Keep America's Post Office from being privatized

The 2006 Congress undermined the financial stability of the Postal Service when it enacted a law that required the postal service to “pre-fund” retiree health benefits seventy-five years into the future, and in an unrealistic 10 year period. With $44 billion now in the fund, The Postal Service inspector general has said that program is already stronger than any other equivalent government or private-sector fund in the country. There already is more than enough in the account to meet all obligations to retirees, yet Congress has been unwilling to pass responsible legislation to keep it solvent. Rural Post Offices are being reduced & some closed. America's Postal Service is facing being dismantled and privatized as result of the inaction of Congress. This agency provides middle income wage earning jobs, many to our veterans returning home. Replacing these jobs with non-career, low- wage, support personnel is damaging to this already ailing economy and totally unnecessary. Mr. President, only the White House Administration can intervene to stop this.
