USPS...NBC Get Your Facts Right!. (VIDEO)

UPTO 2006 THE US POSTAL SERVICE WAS MAKING A PROFIT.

THEN, CONGRESS PASSED A POISON PILL LAW TO KILL THE POST OFFICE.

THEY MADE THE POST OFFICE SET ASIDE $5 BILLION EACH YEAR TO PREFUND THE RETIREMENT OF POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE NOT YET BEEN BORN.

THEY WANT TO DESTROY THE LARGEST UNION IN THE COUNTRY AND PRIVATIZE THE BUSINESS TO TURN IT OVER TO  UPS AND FEDEX. 

THE OIL BARONS DIDN'T WANT THE POST OFFICE MAKING MAIL DELIVERIES IN "ELECTRIC" TRUCKS, WHICH HAD BEEN PLANNED IN 2006.


If you watched Meet The Press this weekend - you heard David Gregory talk about the crumbling state of the US Postal Service.

But he left out one pretty big detail about the post office's demise.

Whether it's lazy journalism or an effort to give cover to the corporatists, the news media is assisting in the demise of the Post Office - an institution started by Ben Franklin that's older than the United States itself.

So that leaves it up to us - "we the people" - to tell the real story about what's happening.

The Digital Age isn't killing the Post Office.

Instead, the demise of the Post Office is another good ol' fashioned story of corporate corruption of politicians and a Republican Party that exists, first and foremost, to serve the CEO class and screw the middle class.
