I've got some news that Republicans will not like.

UPS says it may hire 55,000 holiday workers - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/ups-says-it-may-hire-55000-holiday-workers/2011/11/07/gIQASZPlvM_story.html - broken link)

And in a union shop no less. The regressives must be crapping themselves.

UPS = Muslim Kenyan organization, which stands for Un-American Party of Sharia Law.

55,000 temp hire/14,000,000 unemployed = .00392

I'm pretty sure fractions aren't going to hurt the GOP.

Oh you know.

The Republicans want to streamline the postal service, see if it can actually MAKE money instead of gobbling taxpayer dollars down their big ol' union run hole.

The Republicans realize that taxpayers are going to get SOAKED by the USPS for their high dollar, unionized junk mail sorters for the next couple of months.

Whatever you say, but postal service is a Constitutional mandate, so how unAmerican can it really be? Would it be more "American" to violate the Constitution and end it? Think about what you say.

Is there a chance that you managed to use the letters UPS to mean something other than what they stand for. I think there is a chance that you meant to talk about USPS which you did, instead of UPS.

Especially fractions that will be back to unemployed in less than 2 months after hiring.
