    Hey look, our Social Security is about to be becoming insolvent. The post office has got serious financial problems. I have an idea let’s spend $1.5 trillion extra on the military.

      The post office doesn’t have financial problems. It is a service, not a business. It’s not meant to generate profits. The UPS/FedEx boards are pushing this story to try and gobble it up to end to the competition and jack up your mail costs.

      Any times of USPS crisis are basically just manufactured by people in government who want to privatize or eliminate it for personal gain. The PAEA and Trump’s bullshit come to mind.

        its the biggest welfar system, DEFENSE contracters get free money, and almost free healthcare for service members, via TRICARE.

        well they have consistently defunded VA for the most part.
