“I thank the gentleman for yielding. This is a very interesting debate today. I think it would be a good debate to be reviewed by every political science class in the country as we analyze how Congress has spent us to a $25 trillion debt. We have a situation today in which the U.S. Postal Service is sitting on $15 billion. They have the right to borrow $10 billion from a stimulus package bill we passed earlier. They are making more money this year than last year because deliveries of packages are up. But despite all these numbers, the majority party has decided to spend an additional $25 billion. Now, I like the post office. I really do. But when you have an agency that can spend $25 billion that is unspent right now, $24 billion, and you introduce a bill to say they need another $25 billion, and if you don't vote for that $25 billion bill, it means you don't want children to get little toys they are going receive in the mail, or it means that we don't like the post office, that is outlandish. {time} 1415 There are other things we can look at as well. They talk about getting rid of post offices. In the first 3 years in which President Trump has complete control of the administration, they will be getting rid of less post office boxes than Obama from 2013 to 2016--I don't have the numbers before 2013; it might be 4 years in a row--in the greatest year in which President Trump got rid of mailboxes.…”
