The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's been over seven years now since Congress voted do its best to destroy the United States Post Office by forcing the agency to over fund their pension plan and the right wing's been using it as an excuse to privatize them ever since.

We've been seeing this rerun over and over again on Fox, and this Saturday, the panel on Forbes on Fox was back at it again, calling for privatization and refusing to let their audience know that Congress could take care of the problems with the agency's financial woes very quickly if they wanted to.

A couple of them actually admitted that the problems were with the pensions and that Congress had something to do with it, but they made sure they were vague on the specifics. The pensions were lumped in as "salary and benefits" and the only problem with the Congress that was mentioned was a refusal to "let them modernize." There's no way in hell they were going to let their audience know that the Post Office would be making a profit if our members of Congress weren't determined to do their best to make sure they fail.
