		<description>NO TO FEDERAL FUNDING WITHOUT FEDERAL CONTROL
i have 26 years employment with the post office and have seen more waste and mismanagement in the past three years than in all my career
a &quot;bailout&quot; is appropriate, the postal ship is sinking
Why continue to support a mangement system where personal prejudice affects professional performance and rewards the chosen on the basis of personality not production or performance
The old POD (Post Office Department) could provide dependable service at a reasonable price with an accountability to congress.  The USPS spends like there is no bottom to our pockets.  From sending executivs and mgrs to the Olympics in Spain,  supporting Lance Armstrong to buying $500 fax traffic signal for small post office workroom floor (remind carriers of safety - more accidents since purchase than before) or $500 bulletin board in break room (comes with $140/mo contract for small posters to display in it)

Have we decided as a Nation to reward mismanagement??</description>
