How Dare You Try To Prevent Disaster!

Sit up straight and pay attention to this one. It could be hard to follow but there is wisdom in here somewhere...Humorous Wisdom.
Words recently spoken in our 9% Approval Rated Congress...
“All members of Congress have conferred with me about this statement I am about to make. Yes that is right. All members are in full agreement about the imminent danger we are facing regarding the operation of our Post Offices across this great nation. We are demanding action!
Our Post Office has been floundering around and losing money for so long that is unconscionable that no action has been proposed by our Postmaster General to rectify this awful situation.
Without a specific and detailed plan to save the Post Office, the very fabric of life in the Good Ole USofA will be forever changed for the worst.”
------------
Heeding the serious prompting from our 9% Approval Rated Congress, our Postmaster General issued a specific and detailed plan to save the Post Office that same day.
------------
Words spoken the very next day in our 9% Approval Rated Congress in response to the Postmaster General’s specific and detailed plan to save the Post Office...
“All members of Congress have conferred with me about this statement I am about to make. Yes that is right. All members are in a state of shock that the Postmaster General has proposed a plan of action to save the Post Office.
What the heck is going on here? Does the Postmaster General really think our directive to take action to save the Post Office actually mean that we expected him to take action to save the Post Office?
This is extraordinary! What the heck is air for if it is not for members of Congress to poke holes into without having to worry about anyone taking us seriously?
If people in this country start paying attention to what we say, we stand ready to close all sessions of Congress and not let the folks back home know anything about what goes on in these hallowed chambers.
If we are going to be paid attention to, it will put a lot of pressure on us and actually take all the fun out of being a member of congress.”

All right, I made up the two congressional speeches above...Or did I?

Before I let you go, a couple more comments from The Smartfella:
In this single article you will find two statements that, to my way of thinking (there I go thinking again), are in complete contradiction...
“The Senate last month passed a bill that would give the agency an $11 billion cash infusion...”
and
“The Postal Service, an independent agency of government, does not receive tax money for its operations...”
They must think we are stupid.
Oops, it just dawned on me that these two contradictory statements make perfect sense. It is not Tax Money. It is China’s Money.
Would I kid u?
