Are we, as Americans, willing to sacrifice MAIL DELIVERY to follow failed Republican Fiscal Policy?
Today's news from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.):
USPS: Sen. Bernie Sanders argued Monday that the Postal Service would have posted a profit for the past three months without the requirement to deposit $5.5 billion a year into the retiree fund, The Hill, Fox 44 and ABC 22 reported. "The Postal Service has experienced financial problems and changes need to be made to bring it into the 21st century, but I am convinced that proposals to slow down mail delivery and provide less service are the wrong way to go," Sanders said. Counting the contribution to the already-flush retirement fund, the Postal Service reported a net loss of $740 million in the quarter which ended June 30.
The Fed: Sens. Sanders and Elizabeth Warren want potential candidates for the Federal Reserve Board to address whether the Fed's top priority is meeting its full-employment mandate, American Banker reported. The two senators are “making the right demands and asking the right questions,” John Nichols wrote for The Nation. The senators are considered two of the most aggressive critics of Wall Street’s influence in the federal government, according to The Washington Examiner. It called their column “an implicit rebuke to [Lawrence] Summers, who many liberals believe helped generate the financial crisis by pushing for deregulatory measures as Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary in the late 1990s and early 2000s.”
The Fed: “The next Fed chair will have an opportunity to get our economy back on track and to help rebuild America’s middle class. But that will require the right temperament and a willingness to take on Wall Street CEOs when necessary. It is critical that the next Fed chair make a genuine, long-term commitment to supporting those who don’t have armies of lobbyists and lawyers to advance their interests in Washington – working and middle-class families,” Sens. Sanders and Warren wrote in their column posted on TruthDig, Daily Kos, MichaelMoore.com, Reader Supported News and Green Mountain Daily.
Irene Recovery: Moretown has been awarded $700,000 in federal funds to build a new municipal building to replace the old one that was damaged in Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont Business Journal reported online. The funding was the result of a provision in the federal budget bill championed by Sens. Sanders and Patrick Leahy as well as Rep. Peter Welch.
