show me the post....because i have always blamed both parties.....i wanna see what you say i said....i have no idea.....the bill was written by a Republican and co-sponsored by 1 Republican and 2 Democrats....as i have been telling many Democrats here for the last few years in the postal threads....their party is just as responsible for the PO's finacial problems as are the Republicans....when that bill was passed in 06 your buddy Obama was not the President......the PO up until that point was no different money wise than any other time in their history....in the 90's they were in the black quite a bit....every year at that time they were setting a record each year for mail volume....fish doesnt realize that until 2007 the PO was not losing no where like they are now because of that bill and that they were starting to make money up until then.....

so you are claiming that it was operated efficiently until obama took over? BTW, the USA has not had a budget in the last 7 years, only CR's and special funding bills.
is that an efficient way to operate?
obozo was a senator. how did he vote? or was that one of his non-votes?
OK, but earlier you and carbon head were blaming republicans for the PO losing money. I guess you are backing away from that foolish claim.
