because they are considered an independent agency of the federal govt.....and are not paid by the federal govt the way everyone else is,they are paid by the PO.........and they dont operate solely with fed funding...they fund themselves and are the only agency to do so....Why are the half a million postal workers never in the government employee numbers? They operate solely with fed funding but are never included in the numbers of federal employee's. I've always wondered why.Where do you come up with this nonsense ... ?The only jobs Obama created were government jobs paid for by confiscated taxpayer funds. Now we have double the useless government drones than we had during the Bush administration. The median income for a typical middle class family dropped 7% since Obama took office.

Not only do we not have "double" the number of government employees, as you bizarrely claimed ... Obama has either decreased, or increased them less than Bush, depending on which metric you use.
