Thanks for spreading the word.
This deals with the USPS and exaggerated "fuzzy" math the USPS
PMG and VP's like to spread using the media to sell the financial
benefit closing facilities across the nation will have.
The actual costs are disguised from the general public in a maze of
accounting that the USPS fails to openly disclose.
At particular issue are extended lease obligations the USPS has for many of
these facilities with terms that extend years into the future, which the USPS
is obligated to pay if the landlord insists the full length of the contract
be honored.
Listings of Leased facilities can be found at:

Please join me in requiring the USPS to prove it's claims of cost benefit by disclosing final financial impact of prior implementation.

If all of you would turn off your computer and buy postage stamps you would save all those union jobs. If they shut down the postal service it will be all your fault.
No sweetpea it will be all your fault.
Sweetpea?
That was the best I could do.
Postal workers got huge raises this past spring. They have benefits far and away better than anything you or I will ever have, and all for a very low skilled job!! We will be paying for their benefits for a very long time. Close down all post offices and get rid of millions of tons of junk mail and all the pollution that goes with it. Think about how much we could reduce our CO2 footprint in the US by closing down the USPS!! We could meet our Kyoto agreement...
I'm sorry you are so mis-informed. If you care to investigate the reality of an average postal employee, I think you would find a different story than the MSM hyperbole. Here's a link to start with: http://savethepostoffice.com/valpak-brief
