Tell Congress to NOT defund the USPS - United States Postal Service. This must remain a priority government service, not to be vetted out to the highest bidder where the end result leads to more greed and its employees possibly untrustworthy.
Why is this important?
No other government entity is required to pay insurance and retirement services 75 years in advance. It's ludicrous to pay for retirement and other perks for workers who aren't even born yet. This regulation is archaic and given Congressional arguments that we must cut funding, the most sensible place to start is by allowing the USPS to only fund those services for a 2-3 year period, with bi-annual review for adjustment. Most of us are well-aware this is your attempt to dismantle an excellent agency that operates with the highest standards of integrity, unlike the current Congress. I'm respectfully requesting you to maintain our United States (government-run) Postal Service and forget the idea of privatizing it in effort to make the private sector create high profit while paying the workers the least under your 'Right To Work' philosophy.
