Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds. But retiree health care costs- that's a different animal!
Let’s balance the budget on the backs of the working people. You know, those poor rich folk have a hard time parting with a dime. They are always complaining about their heavy tax burden. Romney paid 13% in taxes. If you made $50,000 doing a 9 to 5 job you paid 35%. His money works for him. You have to get your butt into the office 5 days a week. Anything wrong with this picture?
Howie, most government employees, and PO employees keep their health coverage in retirement. My health insurance, to cover my spouse, eats 24% of my retirement, it is NOT CHEAP, and that is a GROUP plan. Which is exactly why the “Ryan plan” to give vouchers and force folks to seek individual policies, is INSANELY STUPID! NO WAY individuals will find coverage in their “golden years” if thrown off the cliff with his plan.
Are you talking about the Bill gates that lost his job in a factory that was shipped overseas by Mittens and his like,whose wife got sick and they lost their home, moved in with her parents divorced and committed suicide, or the other Bill Gates?
You’re wrong. I still get my bills via USPS, and as long as Netflix continues to offer the DVD option, I’m for it.This way, if I really like a movie, I’ll know to go out to get my own copy! There are a few that I’ve auto-bought simply because I know I’d love it (i.e: Tron:Legacy and Yellow Submarine), but still….:P

Yep, pay off 70 years of future costs, in five, now, every corporation should have to do the same.

Congress needs to do something positive about the Post Office. We still need the Post Office. --Why are the r/w-tea partiers trying to sink it?

Howie, btw, Postal Employees do pay about half what other government employees pay for coverage, but it’s going up.
