Who’s surprised the Post Office is broke?

It’s been broke for decades.

But it’s a government entity, so it hasn’t gone out of business.

It’s simply raised rates, cut services and continued operating in the red.

While that’s happening, President Obama's working on a plan for the federal government pay the mega-trillions of dollars in health care bills of about 40 million people who can’t or won't pay their own health care costs.

Obama, his pals Pelosi, Reid, Dodd, Frank, Rangal and their MSM flacks are leading us to a new, farthest-out-there kind of "going for broke."
