NALC responds to Brookings paper on USPS

NALC – 10/20/15 – A study published by the Brookings Institution, a Washington, DC-based think tank, absurdly calls for Congress to partially privatize the U.S. Postal Service, under the assumption that, as First-Class Mail volumes continue to decline, such a move would help the agency compete with private-sector competitors.

NALC President Fredric Rolando has written a letter to the author of a Brookings Institution paper calling for the breakup and privatization of USPS.

  1. I may be incorrect, but isn’t the Brookings Institute a Republican oriented “think tank”, which, when you consider that it’s based in Washington D.C. and politically motivated, is a contradiction of terms. Conservative or not, any self respecting journalist or analyst (note the first four letters of that word) should know better than to ever believe much less publish any “facts and figures” from the USPS. Their history of lying to the public and perjuring themselves to Congress should be enough to convince any outsider they cannot be trusted.
    Don’t get me started on the level of pathological behavior that remains hidden out of sight of the general public, but suffice it to say a committee not beholden to the USPS or either political party must be formed to expose the enormous fraud and incompetence that has its happy home in postal management nationwide. As a public service, it should be regularly investigated, but instead the General Accounting Office postal branch releases worthless unenforcable “papers” and to add insult to injury, those “inspectors” are hired by the Postal Service. So what makes anybody with the I.Q. of gravel think its reports are going to be unbiased or even addressed?
    It’s like when members of Congress get mad if somebody testifying lies to them.
    So don’t sweat that stupid Brookings Institute report. The NALC is correct to show how the figures have been skewed, and hopefully somebody will pay attention.
