Trump Wants Postal Service To Charge 'Much More' For Amazon Shipments (reuters.com)
President Donald Trump said the U.S. Postal Service should charge Amazon more to deliver packages, the latest in a series of public criticisms of the online retailer and its billionaire founder. From a report: "Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office dumber and poorer? Should be charging MUCH MORE!" Trump wrote on Twitter. The president's tweet drew fresh attention to the fragile finances of the postal service at a time when tens of millions of parcels have been shipped all over the country for the holiday season. The U.S. Postal Service, which runs at a big loss, is an independent agency within the federal government and does not receive tax dollars for operating expenses, according to its website. The U.S. president does not determine postal rates. They are set by the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent government agency with commissioners selected by the president from both political parties. That panel raised prices on packages by almost 2 percent in November.
Let's ban all use of the postal system for business use then.
Trump is just trying to deflect from the fact that he is a serial rapist and probably a child molester. After all, he did say the thing his daughter and he had the most in common was "sex". He could care less about the Russia investigation. He knows that most of us white 'muricans would love to suck a Russian cock! But, he can't let it get out that he is a serial rapist and probably a child molester. FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS!
Where is that in the law https://www.govtrack.us/congre... there is full text, show us where the 75 years is.
For those waiting, we will never hear a reply because that claim of 75 years for funding retirements is a false and a well known lie spread by a bunch of people who hate the post office employees and are trying to prevent the post office from having the money they need to pay the pensions that the employees agreed to.
The people spreading this lie like mixing some truth with their sick lies. The 75 years is the standard number of years that government agencies are required to forecast for accounting purposes, you can find it all over the GAO web site.
For retirement they are required to use the same expected life that is used all over the government, I believe it is a little over 84 years. So if the post office expect people to retire at age 60 they are required under the federal law to have funded that person for the 24 years and because of a 1970s law at a higher rate than other government employees get, which is what this sick person wants make sure there is no money for.
