"Trump admits to blocking Postal Service funding to undercut voting by mail"-LA Times article

Trump opposes Postal Service funding to undercut mail voting - Los Angeles Times

It's funny because several weeks ago, all the leftists here were trying to tell me that the federal government doesn't fund the postal service. And the LA Times is hardly a right-wing source. Plus this article is actually attacking Trump. If you google this topic, you can see SEVERAL left-leaning sources saying something similar to this article, such as NPR. So the US apparently does fund the USPS.

A president who admits to trying to prevent people from voting is a criminal who must be immediately impeached...... at the very least.

republicans are ok with giving 750 billion in tax dollars to the useless military, but wont fund the postal service because minorities might vote. haha

Who won't be able to vote if they don't get a ballot mailed to them without even asking for it?

Turn on your TV. Everyone and their brother are discussing it. Besides we have Trump's own words on Fox and Friends admitting he's withholding money to ruin mail in voting.

I don't watch TV, and therefore don't subscribe to cable. Is it that hard to find a written source?

By withholding, do you mean "not giving them additional money that they're not entitled to receive in the first place?"

The key question is will their vote - in whatever form it takes - be counted?

They don't. This is basically a bailout because COVID-19 has adversely affected USPS as well.

Why does the Post Office need billions of extra money to deliver bags-full of ballots to a single central location? You seem to be conflating "mail-in voting" with "UNIVERSAL" mail-in voting.

Do you have any evidence of your claim or are you just parroting sources like CNN?

And a person who votes multiple times in an election should get life in prison. And you guys just lie and say it doesn’t happen to cover it up.

The Postal Service Deserves a Permanent Bailout

Congressional Democrats would like to help the Postal Service through this troubled time by providing it with a federal bailout. The Trump administration would like to use the agency’s financial crisis to both force through cuts to postal workers’ compensation and (for God knows what reason) screw over its own rural base by allowing the agency to charge low-density parts of the country higher rates. The president, meanwhile, ostensibly wants the USPS to bilk Jeff Bezos until he stops funding journalism critical of Republicans (this might be sound policy for punishing Trump’s personal enemies, but it would not actually solve the Postal Service’s funding woes).

The Postal Service Deserves a Permanent Bailout

There's a difference between a "permanent bailout" and not providing any aid. It's been reported that the USPS loses either millions or billions a year (can't remember which), so how would they function losing that kind of money if they were a private business?

You're no libertarian if you think a major government monopoly like the postal service shouldn't go private. The video is a few years old, before the COVID scare, showing that the government funds them.

Um, did you see me saying anything of the sort?

As much as I don't like government waste, the thing is that alot of poor people want to mail stuff. Have you bothered to check rates that UPS and FedEx charge for the smallest of packages?

If I want to ship the smallest of packages (aka, a letter) from my location to say, San Francisco, care to guess how much it would cost?

$9.25. Ground (4 days). And I'd have to drop my package off at a UPS drop location.

$9.25.

Good luck!
