On July 14, unions representing United States Postal Service (USPS) workers wrote the White House with "extreme urgency" asking for a meeting to address lack of funding for both employee payroll in October and health benefits for retired employees.
The letter, which the FederalTimes.com blog provided a scanned copy late last week, says:
"[USPS] top executives are now saying that the USPS will default on a $5.4 billion payment to prefund future retiree health benefits on September 30, 2009. And its government affairs representative are now telling Congressional staff that the Postal Service may not be able to make payroll in October and will be forced to issue IOUs instead."
The letter was co-signed by the presidents of the American Postal Workers Union, National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, National Association of Letter Carriers and National Postal Mailhandlers Union, and sent to White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Jim Messina.

ReplyDeleteI was in a gold shop today cashing in some old jewelry to repurchase some other commodities I'm going to be needing, and while I was in there a guy bought $15,000 in silver bars and 1 oz gold coins. He looked like your typical astute businessman, not like a doom and gloomer.
ReplyDeleteMost of the useless turds that work in the Chicago postal system will have a hard time differentiating between their old job and the dole. Neither requires much work and you get a Govt check for your lack of effort.
ReplyDeleteUnless you can GROW food, you are toast. If its you against the world? Your MRI's and Ammo? The world will eventually win. Its time to meet your neighbors, and make long term plans.

ReplyDeleteWoe unto thee Oh my people America!
ReplyDeleteWoe unto thee! I shall rend my clothes in mourning! My foolish people!
Thou hast disregarded thy Lord! Thou hast disregarded thy commandments! Thou hast worked inequity and said to thyself 'I am rich! I shall not be poor!'
How thou hast been cast down! The stones beseech thee, saying 'Repent! Repent of thy sin!' but thou remainest steadfast in it.
Thy fate is among the smooth stones.

This story confirms the Federal Fascist Government of the United States is going bankrupt on Sept 30, 2009, as many have predicted.
ReplyDeleteThe depopulation forced vaccine program should be close to completion by then and with only a few million Americans left, the government will do just fine.
Good Luck!
