I just talked to my letter carrier about the insanity of the GOP...


He agreed 100% with me.


Fact sheet: Pre-funding of future retiree health benefits



The U.S. Postal Service has its roots in the United States Constitution. For decades, it has entirely supported itself by the sale of stamps and other postal services—not with taxpayer dollars. The costs associated with the health benefits of USPS’ retirees are also covered by these proceeds. In December 2006, a lame-duck Congress passed the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA), a postal reform measure that included a mandate on the Postal Service to “pre-fund” 75 years’ worth of health benefits for future retirees. Hard-wired into the law without regard to economic conditions was an inflexible payment schedule that required USPS to pay about $5.6 billion per year over a 10-year period. The more than $12 billion in pre-funding payments the Postal Service made from 2007 to 2009 have since helped turn USPS’ healthy income statement a deep shade of red.

So it is better to just promise something and then wonder how to pay for it when the bill comes due?

Idiot.

10. How is that a GOP law

It passed the house with a voice vote, since there wasnt strong opposition. The passed the Senate without anybody voting against it. (Hillary voted for the law).

The bill had two democrat sponsors and only one republican sponsor. It was about as bipartisan as it gets, and both parties are to blame.

13. And every single Democrat in the senate supported it

In the house most democrats supported it. Some may have been against it, but there was not enough opposition to force a recorded vote.

It was a Republican idea.

Got it. Have a lovely day.

THIS mail carrier drives a RHD converted 1978 Chevy Malibu (nicknamed "Sherman", cuz it's a tank!)

HE will also run over your liberal ass, but there won't be much left to bury after "Sherman" gets done! 

A smear and a greasy spot in the road at most.   :dozer:

Sadly, we have LLVs now and are no longer using our own RHD vehicles. Anything larger than a golf ball in the road stops an LLV. A couple of summers back I managed to get the LLV stuck in a drainage ditch about six inches deep and needed to be pulled out.  It wasn't even a sharp six inch fall. Just a steep decline that pretty much anything else made could have gotten out of.

Tell me about it!

Whenever it snowed here, I begged the PM to let me use my car, because I KNEW it would go.

It was mighty unpleasant this past winter in Mass., that's for sure.

Surprisingly, I only needed to be towed just once. I got caught on an untreated incline and started sliding backwards. I kept the vehicle moving forward to stop the slide, the damn thing would stall (As LLVs do..) , and I'd slide back several more inches. That continued until the back of the truck ended up in a snowbank, then I was dead in the water.

All this mailman talk is bringing back memories like the guy who pulled his truck into the gas station and asked them to check out a burning smell. Turns out he had a plastic trash can stuck under the truck.  :rimshot:  :lmao:

I had an LLV headed down a fairly steep grade and got stopped by a plastic Mountain Dew bottle.   The front wheel, being very narrow, went directly over it, wrapping the fat ends of the bottle around it.  The wheel had no more reason to rotate so it didn't.  I got about 20 feet before I noticed something was wrong.  Put it in park and got the bottle out and away I went

If stevenumbers talked to the mailman, he was trying to get the names of women in the neighborhood.

The threads where he described his dating adventures were some of the best in DUmp history.
