Royal Mail is the postal service run from the Post Office.
I have issues with the Royal Mail too, but at least they don't call themselves the People's Mail.

Maybe it's like "corn sugar".
The only mail we get now is bills and junk mail.

So, since it is now the "people's postal service" you won't mind opening your mail as much.

Thanks

Foreign Aid, IRS, DEA, Amtrack, cut salaries for Congress in half, they only work half a year anyway.

bah - Their salaries aren't the problem. Its the lifelong benefits.

Not for the ones who never retire. ;)

Yes - they are getting many of the the benefits while employed.


ETA - In the grand scheme of things ... Its not as big an issue as some other things.

I don't think that is the drag on most large companies and states that pay.

At $0.19 per $5400, it's not a drag on the Federal government, either.

Depends on how many millions you multiply that .19 by.

I suppose if you even multiplied it by one million, $190,000 per $5,400 would be quite a drag on the government's finances. I propose not multiplying congressional salaries and benefits by millions.

Agreed. I still say there may be some value in making the the jobs minimum wage with some really good benefits to keep them motivated. :rolleyes:

Can't do that - We need to attract the best and brightest. Just think of who we would have representing us if there was so little pay (Christine O'Donnell)

They get ten times as much from the lobbyists anyway.
