I hate it for most of them but there are at least three of them who do very little work and have used/abused the union to protect them for years. Good ridance to them.

Long is good at the sound bite, but his Congressional record, it shows Billy Long believes more in government than a free people. <br /><br />Judging from Jim's blog, Billy doesn't even know what he is saying. It depends on who he is in front of on what he says. <br /><br />I could quote Obama all day long, doesn't mean I believe it.

I don't need a frustrated blogger lecturing me on government spending. It's pretty simple to most folks.<br /><br />1. 4-day RFD delivery.<br />2. Up the junk mail charges.<br />3. More PO Boxes in city & rural.<br />4. Close nonessential facilities.<br />5. Bye-bye Saturday services.<br /><br />You're like water off a duck's back to Billy.

The Post Office used to run in the black. It never relied on one dime of tax payer money, and then Congress raided it's retirement pensions and it has run in the red. The Post Office isn't necessarily broken, and it is also Constitutional. The problem is Congress is broken and fails to adhere to the Constitution spending any dime it can get its hands on and this includes Republicans. <br /><br />If Billy is your last hope, you must be a sad individual. As Billy Long sits on the fence unable to take a stand, he did support big government yesterday by voting to give the federal government and the Obama administration more power to police the Internet including 4th Amendment violating background checks for people the government deems a threat.Timeshare Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784047363593719824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-13473638851643310332012-04-26T22:21:31.162-05:002012-04-26T22:21:31.162-05:00It has been the Republicans plan to bankrupt the p...It has been the Republicans plan to bankrupt the postal service for the past five years.<br /><br />The "fiscal crisis" was created solely by poison-pill legislation passed 5 years ago by a Republican Congress and signed by President Bush that required the Post Office – unlike any other company or government agency – to prefund 75 years worth of employee health benefits in a 10 year period.<br /><br />Privatization is the $$$corporate way$$$<br /><br />And it's the Billy way too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192121651732249695.post-3621224152184700642012-04-26T21:05:23.156-05:002012-04-26T21:05:23.156-05:00How is anybody ever going to get run-a-way spendin...How is anybody ever going to get run-a-way spending under control at USPS and all other federal spending?<br /><br />I mean come on Bungalow Bill, it ain't gonna be you.
