#1 Congress will do anything to avoid laying off postal workers. Also note that the MSM studiously & consistently avoids even mentioning the no-layoff deal whenever the viability of the USPS is discussed.

#2 "And when talking about seniors, seniors love getting junk mail. It's sometimes their only way of communicating or feeling like they're part of the real world," Reid continued.

#5 Oh, I still use the Postal Service. If I owe taxes I'm gonna mail a check through the Post Office at the latest possible date.

So I wanna know if this new law means the rest of us will have to pay more for stamps so that seniors can keep getting their junk?
