Exchange between Senator Rand Paul and U.S. Postmaster General DeJoy on labor and cost decisions for U.S. Postal Service. Sen. Paul: "Can you think of a private business where 80% of what they are doing to make money is going down in volume, that would actually increase their employees?"

@SenRandPaul @USPS Eff Rand Paul. It’s a public service, critical to our democracy, written in to the Constitution.

@SenRandPaul @USPS JFC, the volume of packages has increased dramatically with online shopping.

@SenRandPaul @USPS Labor would be the major cost in a service industry. USPS transports and delivers someone else ‘s product, it doesn’t produce a widget. What’s hard to understand Rand? The USPS is mandated to deliver to everyone, it’s designed not to profit.

@SenRandPaul @USPS Why are Republicans so obsessed with running the government like a business?

@SenRandPaul @USPS Senator Paul is arguing that the best way forward is to completely shit on labor. Why the fuck do we have MLK day, Labor Day, and Veteran's Day if not to make the point that equality, labor, and service to country are core values of this nation and should not be devalued??!

@SenRandPaul @USPS It’s a public service not a business

@SenRandPaul @USPS Politicians should set the example for government employees by giving up their pensions.

@SenRandPaul @USPS Rand Paul has never passed a single bill. What the fuck is this guy doing collecting almost $200K for accomplishing nothing?

@SenRandPaul @USPS I can’t think of a business where you destroy machines that make for more efficiency either.

@SenRandPaul Senator Paul please replace the sour puss behind you. Sitting in that room I don't expect anyone to smile but looking like you've eaten a sh.. sandwich doesn't work either.
