"Post Office To Cut Thirty Thousand Jobs"

The world is becoming what was referred to in the Superman Comic as Bizzaro World. A world turned upside down where good is bad and bad is good. I really don't won't to get into to much detail but the US Postal Service which was created in1792 and Benjamin Franklin was it's first Post Master General.

So lets time travel forward to 2011 where the USPS now employs about 574,000 employees and has over 218,000 vehicles in it fleet. The USPS has simply grown to large to be profitable and  has deciced to, cut workers, cut Postal centers, and service. Thats correct there will be no more deliveries on Saturdays. But I believe that  the USPS is worth saving. I actually remember the corny slogan about the mail always having to get through the elements. Neither rain, nor hail, or snow shall stop the mail from getting through.

I usually don't like to speak about Political issues but once again I must. The USPS has been and is an American Institution that has been around since the Founding of  the USA. A large majority of people blame the state of the USPS on  more mail being delivered using E-mail and etc. I disagree I blame the USPS management who have really done nothing to upgrade so it could compete with Internet mail. The USPS responsibility of being profitable has doomed the Agency.

I believe a bail out is in order Mr. President. While growing up I could always remember hearing that "the Post Office was always hiring. Can we allow the USPS to be sent back in time or do we as Americans stand up and say no. I say no because The Social Security Administration will probably be next.

One Love, One Nation, One World.
