What Economic Recovery? Is the U.S. Congress stealing U.S. Postal Service money?

The United States Postal Service does not make money off taxpayers, they are solely funded by the postage they charge.  The U.S. Congress controls what the USPS can charge, and, according to testimonies by the U.S. postmaster general, Patrick Donahoe, and Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, the U.S. Congress has forced the USPS to over pay into several federal funds.

Remember, the money made by the USPS does not come from taxes, and yet they’re being forced to over pay into federal funds.

Postmaster Donahoe has asked Congress to refund the over payments and they refused!  Congress is also refusing to allow the USPS access to it’s own money in the other funds.  Why?  Can it be that the U.S. Congress is using the non taxpayer Postal funds to pay for the day to day operations of the Congress?  Afterall, the U.S. government is broke, and they sure haven’t had any problems stealing from the taxpayer funded Social Security accounts!!!
