Postal Service Smoke and Mirrors. The (wasted) $4.5 Million spend on a study, which shows 5 day delivery saves the USPS, is folly. In this world there are two types of companys; one creates a widget that is sold for profit, and one which provides a service for a fee. The USPS is a service based organization. Since our profitability is based on providing a service, HOW CAN WE REDUCE SERVICE to our customers, as a cost savings measure? Would a newspaper in financial difficulties, stop using ink? Would a hospital stop using X-Ray machines and MRI’s? Let’s not be stupid. There are 3 easy steps to fix this proposed train wreck:

1. Correct the payment to the Retiree’s Health Benifit. (2.2+ Billion)
2. Reduce the number of Management Employees, in direct proportion to the losses in the Crafts, using employment levels in 2006 as the benchmark. ($8+ Billion)
3. Make all USPS employees exempt, from the PFP. Pay for Performance, is a bonus program, where Management Employees set their own goals..and when met, get raises and cash awards. The name of the program, is an oxymoron when used in the USPS. ($1+ Billion)

That saves $12+ Billion per year, puts us deep in the black, pays off the debt, and still maintains 6-day delivery.
