The other day I had the misfortune of having to mail something larger than an envelope and was forced to go into the Burlington Post Office and wait in that eternal line at the service counter.
There is something totally wrong with the Burlington Post Office and I blame it on arrogance of the management that puts service to the customer at the lowest level possible and this has gone on for years down at our post office.
There is never enough people working the service counters in the Burlington Post Office and most people just dread having to go down there to mail anything other than a letter at the outside box. It’s as though the customer’s time is not near as important as the management who can’t figure out why there’s a long line standing out on the floor waiting to mail something. Why doesn’t the management of the local post office take a time study on the slow service when only one of the counters is manned while the line keeps growing?
Management of the entire Post Office Department is a mess and they are constantly being bailed out by the taxpayer for failure to break even. This just goes to show that government just fumbles around and can never compete with the private sector in any business related venture because they have no incentive to excel or do things right because they have the taxpayer to bail them out. Government is similar to spending eight hours a day away from home doing nothing and being overpaid to do it, sort of a retirement incubating head start experience for management.
The Burlington Post Office is West Burlington Post Office’s best advertisement.

Quote for today: “The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.” –Anonymous
Welfare————————————-66 million non productive (no value added) All of Government———————–40 million non productive (no value added) Working People (value added)—–103 million
Just no way this can work because there are far too many people doing nothing productive to create value added commerce nor paying of taxes.
This is Obama’s plan on how the United States should be and we can thank the free loaders and government people for four more years of this mass destruction of our country from within. With Obama in office there is just no way anything can get better for the United States. We again elected a loser for our president and sealed our fate for many years to come. In the mean time our tax dollars are being wasted on those that have no intentions of creating any wealth and prefer nanny government to carry them from cradle to grave.

Volt a Dolt

Well, our government is now going to try and tax us so it can develop a real car battery development lab because the GM Volt is a total bomb just like most enterprises the government undertakes that undercuts private industry know how and competition both of which make American work at its best.
Here’s what Jefferson had to say about government and taxes:
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas Jefferson
Our current administration is totally nonfunctional in a positive way and overbearing and obnoxious in a negative way while the congress is just plain worthless and a waste of taxpayer money.
I think Obama has wasted enough money on his dabbling in the industrial world something he really knows nothing about and a person whose claim to fame was block organizing at best. The problem with our economy is Obama himself but Obama’s ego gets in the way of his learning from the past; so don’t ever expect this president to solve any of our problems. We are stuck with Obama through the fault of an unscrupulous American press and television news networks and people incapable of thinking for themselves while dependent on the taxpayer for their livelihood and only vote for those who would sell their souls to get elected and of course give them money.
Our country is being stolen right out from under us just as the left leaning liberals wanted. The situation in Detroit is what is waiting for much of America because that’s Obama’s vision and his goal. Make all America dependent on the principles of a loser economy and big dumb, incompetent government.
What a sick country we have become with a government that represents only those with no stake in anything other than greed and produce nothing of real value for the country as a whole and it’s definitely a top down process.

I’m beginning to think that if Obama’s brains were dynamite he wouldn’t be able to blow his nose. He’s now chosen on the short list a left wing Anna Wintour to be a canadate for ambassador to Great Britain and her qualifications are: left wing zealot, big Obama donor, a non-diplomat as are 46 of the 52 he’s got out in the field now. In 2008 he said he was going to upgrade the diplomatic corps another promise he didn’t keep. This sends a message to the world that American diplomats are nothing more than left wing friends of Obama with no diplomatic experience at all.
Maybe she’d be a good choice for Benghazi since were short an ambassador there. America’s choices for diplomats are a position for sale to the highest bidder and the qualifications have nothing to do with diplomatic skills unlike most countries around the world.

We are now as unrepresented on the world stage as we are in the congress. We have mostly leftwing donors as ambassadors around the world and a congress of do nothings here at home.
By the time Obama is done the U.S. will be teetering near 3rd world classification without a doubt. He’s destroying our American way of life through total ignorance of how America works. In simple terms we have a Flim Flam man in the white house.
Basically two of the three branches of government are non-producing dead weight to the American taxpayer and should be totally replaced.
