[…] The New Democrat wing of the Democratic Party is also its “New Liberal” (aka neo-liberal) wing. Its members serve Money, have from DLC days onward, just like Republicans do, and privatizing services is a great way to make even more money for people who love only money.

Aren’t many of the same bad actors behind SB 1789, e.g., Lieberman, Carper, Collins? And, without PAEA didn’t the USPS actually profit in 2011 to the tune of $105 million. It’s time for real transparency and action from the Senate and the house. Barring that we need support from the 99%.
