THE POST OFFICE & PUBLIC EMPLOYEE'S ARE RUINING THE COUNTRY

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?


The United States Postal Service is planning on halting Saturday mail delivery. They say they have to cease delivery because they do not have the money. The USPS maintains that they are billions in the red.

I say they would have the money if the USPS would immediately STOP all of the lucrative pensions and benefits that they owe their federal employees. For decades the postal service had been giving  their postal employees whatever their union wanted. The postal employee receives a more than generous salary, day to day working benefits, over the top health and medical and a very lucrative pension and retirement plan. The USPS, the largest employer in the nation has been coddling their employee union ever since they broke away from the government agency it once was.

The USPS should immediately lay off thousands of postal employees through attrition, firing bad employees and put all employees into the same retirement programs that people in the private sector has to depend on.

These postal employees should have to belong to the social security system and look forward to a 401(k) retirement plan as the rest of us. The post office is bleeding red ink because they owe their employees and their retired administrators billions in retirement/pension benefits.

Folks, federal employees from the White House on down including  the state, county and municipal public employees clearly feel they are an entitled group and deserve more that John and Jane Doe who works their butt off in the private sector. These public employees exempt themselves from the same rules and regulations than the little guy, you and me, have to follow. They and their unions set up their own wage and benefits, retirement, pensions and health plans that no one in the private sector can ever hope to see and enjoy.

Us little guys are paying for these fed fat cats and public employees  large lucrative  salary and benefits which often includes the employees entire family. How would you like someone else to pay your  families health care for the rest of  your life? That's just one of the things happening.

I submit that if all federal employees, (including our Washington lawmakers ), state, county and city employees were  put into the social security system and a 401(k) retirement plan like the rest of us you would  see how fast the social security system would be solvent. Why? Because they would be depending on the same benefits as the rest of us in the country.

We lowly taxpayers, like all the Dick and Jane's across the country should not have to pay these billions of dollars in owed  retirements  and pensions to the postal employees.

People, the USPS squandered our tax monies for all of these decades while living high off the hog. And, they continue their bad behavior while still owing billions.I predict that if all of the federal, state, county and city employees salaries, benefits and retirement/pensions packages are not reigned  in this country will collapse. financially and economically.

So, I suggest that as step one: We the people have Congress put any and all employees who hold any type of job in the country pay into the Social Security system and  participate in a 401(k) retirement plan. - And,  that's  my opinion. You decide. Make your own decisions.
