Postal Service funding debate amid independence plan
Bailar argues removing independence would not fix deficits and cites the 1977 $700 million loss versus $1 billion yearly losses earlier. A Hanley Wilson bill would curb rate hikes, restore presidential appointment power, and abolish the board of governors. Bailar opposes a $2 billion subsidy. Separately, farm price data show farmers earned 38.5 cents of every dollar at retail in November with middlemen taking 61.5 cents, reflecting long-standing farmer concerns about grocery costs.
