What is in the HCR Bill.

Blue, very simply, unless you work in, around, or for the USPS and are aware of the morass of federal laws mandating what we do, it's impossible to explain, which is a major part of the problem.

Add to it the fact that management is promoted strictly from within, and you have damned few competent craft employees who will go into management because of all the garbage from above.

Hell, we have senior management in the USPS who can't even get the answers to simple questions correct, for instance, are Postal Employees Federal Employees or not.

When the execs running the show can't even answer that correctly, there's a problem.

We're in the communications business, but we can't even explain to the general public how the system works.

Take the contracts for the USPS away from Fed-Ex and UPS and see where their balance sheets settle. Your package prices would be a touch higher than they are now.

If USPS cant answer even simple questions to their own employees, do we want the same type of bureaucracy applied to our health care?

As far as the Postal Service being a Government success or failure, it's neither.

The USPS in it's current incarnation is a Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac type entity.

It is a private entity, operating under federal law, using federal employees which cannot make a profit, but isn't supposed to show a loss, either.

Obama made the comparison not me. Either way Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac failed under gov mandates. The USPS is propped up by federal funds/mandates as far as I can tell.

If you allready have health insurance fine, have it. I just dont want whats in the HCR bill forced on me.
