Postal Service rescue bill stalls in Congress as cash woes mount
By Bernie Becker - 07/15/12 04:50 PM ET

The House’s delay in considering a postal reform bill is sparking concerns that the rescue of the U.S. Postal Service could be delayed until after the November elections — or even until the next Congress.

Republicans signaled last week that the House would likely not vote before the August recess on a postal bill from Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the Oversight Committee chairman, and Rep. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.).

Senators and outside industry observers decried that holdup, saying that any delay reduces the chances of lawmakers coming together on a broad postal reform package. The Senate passed its own postal reform bill in April, and key senators are waiting to negotiate a compromise bill with the House.

1. The do-nothing Congress has been busy repealing ACA for the 33rd. time.

2. More reasons to sweep Republicans out of the Congress

and give us a pure progressive majority.

No conservatives or DINOs allowed.

The minority can go sit in the corner and stay there until their election comes up.

3. When the GOP shows me a private service that will take a letter from PA to HI for 45 cents,...

... THEN maybe I'll consider it. Priority and Express mail are still cheaper than UPS or Fed Ex. I don't use anything other than the USPS and I've got one about 1/4 mile from me.

Fuck privatization - all it does is raise retail prices.
