Meanwhile, the Republican voters who get hurt by this will blame government as the problem and elect more lunatics who promise to further dismantle the government.

Post Office better not be losing money on pre-sort. Snail mail is about 80% ads. If the ads aren’t subsidizing the rest, something should be done with pricing to make them stop.

Not a lot. Just wanted to emphasize that not all government services need to be non-profit. When they can be run profitably and the benefit accrues to the public good it’s a beneficial arrangement. I do agree with the point that if an public enterprise cannot be run profitably that is also fine if there is an important public service that is being met.
I don’t have a problem with that approach.
The only reason the USPS is having financial difficulties is because it is being forced to pre-fund its pension and retirement benefits many decades in advance, in a way that absolutely no other government or private organization on earth does. The reason for this is to force the exact situation it is now in, so that privatization becomes more likely.
The USPS was a successful government agency that has been intentionally broken for ideological reasons.

It is if she plans to take out her husband in hopes of creating peace, allegedly.
Probably mostly symbolic reasons too. I don’t think they really care. FedEx and UPS probably don’t even really care that much at this point.
You bernie voters wanna get UK’d so bad.
I don’t want to lose the election because a large percentage of the Dem Party (voters and politicians) are racists, war mongers, totalitarians, and climate change deniers, but I’m not going to pretend like that’s not the case. You expect me (us) to pretend here that “acid rain was fake news” wasn’t a stupid take just because it’s not unique to Republicans?
I know for sure your anti-immingrant takes aren’t absent from the Dems and unfortunately Politicians would be wise to treat people like you gently and change the subject to M4A as quickly as they can.

Goddamn, that whole article is buck wild.
“Based on OMB’s communication with DOD on August 12, 2019, OMB understands from the Department that this additional pause in obligations may not preclude DOD’s timely execution of the final policy direction but that execution risk increases with continued delays. ”
With the hold lifted, McCusker’s team worked fast to get the money out the door, but, in the end, $35.2 million of the Ukraine funding lapsed and required new congressional legislation to make it available again.

A little more… Wow.
As a result, we have repeatedly advised OMB officials that pauses beyond Aug. 19, 2019 jeopardize the Department’s ability to obligate USAI funding prudently and fully, consistent with the Impoundment Control Act .
“Do you believe DOD is adequately protected from what may happen as a result of the Ukraine obligation pause? I realize we need to continue to give the WH has [sic] much decision space as possible, but am concerned we have not officially documented the fact that we can not promise full execution at this point in the [fiscal year].
Despite repeated warnings from the DOD to the OMB, the OMB now returns to say:
OMB developed a footnote authorizing DoD to proceed with all processes necessary to obligate funds. If you have not taken these steps, that is contrary to OMB’s direction and was your decision not to proceed. If you are unable to obligate the funds, it will have been DoD’s decision that cause any impoundment of funds.
The DOD responds:
“You can’t be serious. I am speechless.”

Why not… You done a HRC on us UKer’s…
And the reason we lost was because centrists like YOU wanted power more than to help the people.
