How da fuk can the Post Office LOSE $2.2 billion dollars? I can see not making as much profits, but losing that much...what is the USPS doing running a triple inverse leveraged energy hedge fund out back?
How can they lose money? Too many unions, too many Affirmative Action hires that they can't fire. The government always fucks up everything it touches!
simple solution: deliver mail every other day.
How can they lose $2.2B? It's the government. Amtrak is running a massive deficit as well.
"I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."
Look Green Shitz
Stick a fork in this pig followed by FRE and FNM. Idiots runnign the show. Fools will be elected over and over. Hang the bitchez or send them to Syria.

Between the Post Office, Fannie, Freddie and every other thing the government touches going bankrupt, how the hell will they "fix" our heathcare system?!?!?!?!?!?
We're so screwed!
Beyond screwed. One big fucking revolving door and corrpt system will never end in the USA.
How you loving the "change" Obongo gave us?!??!
Don't forget Amtrack.
'Wall St says cuts alone wont fix budget'...Oh of course not, the only way Wall St thinks the budget can be fixed is more transfers of trillions from taxpayer to them at 0%, THEN the budget is really gettin fixed!
A tax on wall street would fix. Watch the deficit go down as HFTs push low volume back and forth. But that would make too much sense.
The wall street solution may go by way of Irish pension tax in American theater.
Easy money is certainly something which Whore Street has done to destroy the USA.
Honest money in the USA again!
The AIG thing may partially explain why they haven't crashed the stock market yet.
Dumb money flees munis:

excerpt:
<<< investment- grade municipal bonds had a cumulative 10-year default rate of 0.06 percent from 1970 to 2009, according to New York-based Moody’s Investors Service. >>>
I love ZH, but it was flat out WRONG by advising people that munis as a broad investment class are a ticking time bomb. Some municipalities are poorly run and will default. Investors have a wide selection of munis to purchase and they should do their own DD.
