      The postal service wants to raise the price of stamps and cut hours on the smaller post offices. That still will not do what they need. They need to keep the offices open regular hours for the working people. Here's why they are broke and will never go in the black. Why The Postal Service Is Broke and Cannot Recover It is a shame with all the bright minds in the Postal Service and no one can do simple math. The reason the postal service is broke and cannot recover is very simple, FREE ROUTE DELIVERIES ! Let’s just take one rural route employee’s expenses (and there are a train load of them) and do the math. The example route is 100 boxes on a 200 mile round trip delivery per day. Each box on the route buys 5 rolls of stamps per year (this is being generous). Let’s say the route driver gets $20 per hour and he/she is getting 50 cents a mile for vehicle expense (these numbers are conservative). Now, 8 hours a day average with $20 an hour for wages is $160 a day. Now, 200 miles a day times 50 cents a mile for vehicle expense is $100 a day. For those who cannot figure math, that’s $260 a day expense to the Postal Service for just one route driver. $260 times 6 days a week, times 52 weeks brings the grand total to $81,120 expense the Postal Service is out for one route driver per year. Each box buys 5 rolls of stamps ($45 per roll) and that comes to $22,500. Now that we have the numbers, let’s do the math: Expense for the postal service for just one route driver per year is: $81,120 Minus the stamps that were purchased for the year: $22,500 THE COST OF FREE DELIVERY SERVICE IS: $58,620 Now, can someone tell me how in the world a business can stay in business with this kind of loss? You cannot do it. This does not even include the mail processing and handling fees to get the mail to the route drivers. Now the Postal Service wants to raise stamps and cut hours of business at the smaller post offices, making it hard for working people to do their postal business. The best thing to do is charge people delivery fees just like the people who get their mail at the post office pay box rents. Problem fixed. No more tax dollars bailing out the postal service.

      If I pray hard enough can I convince God to make you more intelligent? Maybe then you would believe all of the climate research conducted by actual scientists. I forgot, everything you learned in school came from a 2000 year old myth.

    Today marks the start of a new fiscal year, and a dangerous milestone: we only have three months until President Obama’s tax hike on small businesses takes effect. An independent study by Ernst and Young estimates that this tax increase wo...
    uld affect nearly one million small businesses and cost us more than 700,000 jobs. Not only would this come during the worst period of unemployment since the great depression, but it would coincide with automatic spending cuts that would devastate our national security. House Republicans are working to avoid this fiscal cliff, but we need action from the president and Senate Democrats.

    Yesterday, the 2008 Farm Bill expired, and we don't yet have a new five-year Farm Bill in place. Farmers need certainty to run their businesses, and I’ll continue to push for long-term policy to give our farmers and ranchers a measure of predictability in a risky industry.

    Don't miss my opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal: "A $447 Million Consumer Alert." The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency created to protect consumers, can spend $550 million each year with no oversight or accountability.

    In The Wall Street Journal, Texas Rep. Randy Neugebauer writes that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau pays 60% of its 958 employees more than $100,000—but Congress can't really tell how else the agency's money is spent.
