terrible thing. the post master general originally wanted to shut down half of the processing plants in america, about 250 of them. all told, he wanted to shrink the workforce by over 200,000 workers in the middle of the worst economic downturn since the great depression. wanted to end saturday mail delivery. wanted to slow down mail delivery standards. what happened is senators lieberman and corp. introduced the bill that certainly was a heck of a lot better than what the post master general had proposed. in my view, it did not go far enough. i brought together two dozen members of the senate. we are working on now what s called a manager s amendment that would go a long way toward protecting the postal service. senator, all of that is great. and i appreciate you doing it. but shouldn t the democrats be making a equipment to american workers that, look, if we get the white house, the house and the senate back, we re going to change this 75-year thing.
