Another bipartisan effort to solve real specific problems with nonspecific and nontargeted cuts. None of these ‘leaders’ have the courage to assign auditors, accountants, and efficiency experts to crunch the numbers, assess risk, and/or make recommendations that would prosecute fraud, eliminate waste, and end abuses.
Gov’t has been “closed” for productive business for over 12 years now, and the parties have divided our nation with social issues and weakened the nation with cannibalistic behaviors. Geo. Washington would not be happy his warning came true.

I think UPS will still deliver on Saturdays. This just shows how capitalism works far better than a bunch of elected officials who are out for themselves.

The USPS could continue to deliver on Saturdays if the congress allowed them to function as a business. But there’s no reason it should be profitable, any more than transportation or defense. Funny how Ima doesn’t appear to think that capitalists are “out for themselves…” You should study capitalism some time, it’s an interesting topic.

Voters elected them. Look in the mirror and see who created the “problem.”

When obama refused the Republicans’ last proposal, Boehner told Obama to cut wherever he wanted to cut, and Obama refused.

Maybe they will turn out the non-violent drug offenders. Prisons are a big cost item, federal, state, local!

@Ms. Ima
said I think UPS will still deliver on Saturdays.
The plan, which is aimed at saving about $2 billion, would start to take effect in August.
Why do you think the Post Office will continue to deliver on Saturdays when they just announced they won’t?
And, why do you think this proves “capitalism” is better than “elected officials”?
The United States Postal Service (USPS), also known as the Post Office and U.S. Mail, is an independent agency of the United States government responsible for providing postal service in the United States. It is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution. … The USPS is legally obligated to serve all Americans, regardless of geography, at uniform price and quality. … The USPS has not directly received taxpayer-dollars since the early 1980s with the minor exception of subsidies for costs associated with the disabled and overseas voters.

@ Ransom – I have looked in the mirror, and by writing and talking to people I meet, try to get people to vote for better candidates. The problem is finding a way to get the better candidate to run. I’m thinking TV shows called, “So You Think You Can Lead”; “America’s Got Leaders”; or “The Leaders”. If done right, I’d watch and vote.
@ Ansonia – You are right as far as you go. Boehnor wants Obama and the Dems to take the blame for anger cuts will create. Obama wants the blame to be shared. Both are cowards, as are the other party leaders, and all are failing a nation, and dividing a people.
Thank you both for you thoughts and tone.
Respectfully,

It’s true that neither side wants to take the blame for this, granted.
But when Obama kept refusing the Republicans proposals, and was told he could take the cuts anywhere he wanted to, why didn’t he do that?
How much more can the Republicans offer? Obama already got taxes increased.

UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, and other private package delivery will never deliver on Saturday or Sunday.

Just today Obama canceled white house tours for regular folks, but not if you pay 500K for the private tour…

I suppose UPS will. Not that I will ever use UPS, not after the first and last time I did. I could have lived with the ’Customs Brokerage Fee" UPS charged me for delivering a package, BUT! When the fee is 10.00 MORE than the UPS shipping fee, forget it! No wonder UPS makes a profit!
