It was a voice vote, so there is no record... It was the lame duck GOP house and senate that were about to lose control of the house and senate about two weeks later...
That would be the 109th Congress... all Republican controlled.
You’ve missed the news of the trillions given away to GOP Corps with the windfall tax giveaway in 2017. We sure could use a few of those billions right now.No corp got trillions of dollars. That is absurd.
But the bill has kept all of extended family working and paid (corp execs, lawyers, accountants, etc...) - but they work from home now.
But there were at least 50 dems as co-sponsors.
So this is not all GOP fault.
You are mixing up two different bills... HR 22 which died and HR 6407 which passed...
Raise taxes.
Wrong bill, wrong year.. try again
Lol. An identical bill sponsored by the same Democrats. Literally there in the links posted. Nice flail.
Bush signed a bi-partisan bill for the post office that included the pension contribution change.
Hell, Biden probably voted for it as the bill was pro-union.
The USPS contracts with FedEx and UPS for their overnight deliveries. That must cut into profit.
I'm a tax and civil lawyer not a political lawyer. Give me some leeway, please. Sorry about the incorrect link.
Regardless - none of this really matters anyway because each state has laws on the timing of requesting an absentee ballot.
For example (I do not know these to be true) -
Some states state that you cannot request a ballot until 7 days before the election.
Other states - can't request a ballot until 10 days before the election.
Others are different, I suspect.

Like I said earlier - the USPS subject really is moot anyway. The dems are all worried about mail in ballots. Where have they been on this topic since January? Nowhere except telling the USA that all was fine with the caronavirus.
If the BLM crowds and other protesters now numbering in the millions across this country can go out every night protesting, shooting and killing people and police, committing arson, pillaging and looting, etc... they certainly can spare some time to go vote in person. Polls are usually open for at least 12 hours.
Then they can get back to their criminal activities.
Sigh... I know it can be hard to actually read the record but geez...

Notice any difference on that little tab that says cosponsors?

Continuing from my last post, here is each state with instructions and the amount of time to request and/or mail in the ballot -

You seem to be operating under the delusion that a business and a service are mutually exclusive things. They aren’t. USPS operates as a Federally owned business - it sells goods and services to pay its employees and fund their benefits. They are not provided free of cost by the government.

Unfortunately, Texas eliminates virtually anyone under 65 from getting an absentee ballot...

Congress doesn't appropriate money to the USPS. While a great idea, I don't know how it would help out in this case.

Trump had trillion dollar deficits before his incompetent response to COVID. He is the reason why our economy has cratered.
Trump gave it away today saying ‘Amazon’. His USPS lackey is in ‘direct’ competition with USPS in the private sector with a 100-million dollar venture. Veterans and the Elderly aren’t too happy with the negative impact on them already.
