USPS = Fail!
The US Postal Service (USPS) is a mess. Although they are constantly failing, no one in the government seems to notice. The recently failed an IG audit. They are behind in paying their debt. They cannot keep to their role of postal delivery. Why is the USPS still open? Don't forget, our taxes go towards paying this agency to stay open!
The latest audit reflects the USPS failure of its acquisition process. They state that their employees were unaware of its purchasing policy when the IG determined that 38% of its $1.3B spending was sole sourced. Unacceptable to most but not to USPS.
It is especially odd when USPS complains about the need for additional funds when they cannot seem to manage what funds they are obligated.
What is the role of the USPS? "The core function of the Postal Service is the safe, reliable, affordable delivery of mail and packages to every address in the country and its territories." Really?

Your taxes don't go toward the USPS staying home, the sale of stamps, products and services are what keeps it open...the USPS is not dependent on tax dollars or the federal government for funding.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. USPS does receive funding from taxpayers, albeit they are not fully funded like other government agencies as their revenues from stamp sales, etc. provides their funding.
