The outgoing US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy recently signed a letter with the U.S. Digital Service, often referred to informally as the “DOGE” Service, to allow them to review their internal files, systems, and information as a way to improve efficiencies.
The U.S. Postal Service has been an ongoing fiscal disaster zone since the 1980s. Chronic mismanagement and bad leadership has brought it to the point where it is operating with a $73 billion annual budget and still coming up $9 billion short every year, existing by virtue of an annual bailout from Congress.
The USPS has been a focus point for fiscal failure: Biden was trying to spend $3 billion on EV vehicles for the Post Office, an order cancelled by Trump and Musk already.
But as Musk’s team gains access to the postal service’s internal files, the public policy recommendations could potentially greatly improve the service, or spiral it into even more billions in debt since it is the nation’s largest civilian employer. As of 2023, the United States Postal Service (USPS) employed approximately 525,469 career employees.
Is there any way the Maryland Government can be DOGED? So much waste, fraud and abuse just in the education system. How much was spent on sexualizing our children and indoctrinating them in evil and justifying mental illness? Please look into this as we are deep in debt – this could be fixed by stopping all those illegal programs that people do not want.
