The Golden Horseshoe is a weekly designation from Just the News intended to highlight egregious examples of wasteful taxpayer spending by the government. The ward is named for the horseshoe-shaped toilet seats for military airplanes that cost the Pentagon a whopping $640 each back in the 1980s.
This week, our award goes to the United States Postal Service for spending $5.7 million in the past year on mail trailers that they did not use.
To deliver mail, the USPS utilizes a system of leased and bought trailers — dispatching them where and when they are needed, in accordance with demand. Most of the fleet is comprised of leased trailers — more than 75% in 2020. A new Inspector General report, which assesses USPS management of the leased trailers, concludes that there is room for improvement in the system.
