Sometimes it’s hard to be a Republican.

Darrell Issa (R) from north San Diego county is pushing legislation to help "bail out" the Post office. He doesn't have a clue what is needed, and it is very un-Republican to add more un-needed bureaucracy to an agency that is already suffocating from regulation. Government needs to get out of the way and remove the straps that are holding the USPS back. Allow them to right size their production and distribution networks as the market needs dictate and take the politics out of it. Relieve them of ridiculous pre-funding of their retirement burden mandated by the PAEA. Give them back the 75 BILLION the GAO has reported that they have already overfunded.
