If The Post Office Is What We Have To Look Forward To When It Comes To Obamacare, Count Me Out

Especially when they can't make payroll.

The presidents of the American Postal Workers Union, National Rural Letter Carriers’ Association, National Association of Letter Carriers and National Postal Mailhandlers Union co-signed the Tuesday letter to White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina, warning that the U.S. Postal Service is at risk of defaulting on a $5.4 billion payment to prefund retiree health benefits at the end of September.

The letter alleges that USPS “may not be able to make payroll in October and will be forced to issue IOUs instead.”

Yvonne Yoerger, a spokeswoman for USPS, confirmed that the unions wrote the letter but disputed the claim that payroll deadlines will be missed.

“That’s not something that’s been discussed at all,” she said. “We are committed to making payroll.”

Yeah, and I am committed to drinking a gallon of val-u-rite vodka. So what's your point?

But, seriously, how fucking stupid is it when the Post Office. The Fucking Post Office, cannot make payroll?
