Outgoing U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress the USPS will work with DOGE to fix its “broken business model.”
“Last night I signed an agreement with the General Services Administration [GSA] and DOGE representatives to assist us in identifying and achieving further efficiencies,” wrote DeJoy. “This is an effort aligned with our efforts, as while we have accomplished a great deal, there is much more to be done.”
DeJoy said the USPS plans to reduce its workforce by “10,000 people in the next 30 days through a Voluntary Early Retirement program.”
DeJoy also listed some of the supposed accomplishments that happened since he took over.
You know what I didn’t see in the letter? The USPS wanting to spend $10 billion for electric vehicles and infrastructure. That announcement came out in 2022.
In August 2022, Congress gave USPS $3 billion in that stupid Inflation Reduction Act for electric vehicles.
The final deal came to $77,692 per vehicle.
Well, the contractor in charge of providing 60,000 vehicles is way behind schedule.
The USPS only received 100 electric vehicles by the end of 2024.
However, this is the same guy who covered his ears during a Congressional hearing as House Republicans criticized his tenure.
Yeah, DeJoy gave himself an A as Rep. Rick McCormick (R-GA) pointed out that the USPS’s reputation went down during his time.
DeJoy kept telling Congress they had to address some issues.
The postmaster listed these issues in his letter, saying they are “burdensome regulatory requirements restricting normal business practice.”
“The Postal Regulatory Commission is an unnecessary agency that has inflicted over $50 billion in damage to the Postal Service by administering defective pricing models and decades old bureaucratic processes that encumber the Postal Services,” explained DeJoy.
DeJoy accused the commission of having “an anachronistic view” of how the USPS currently works.”
