August 23, 2020 - On Saturday, Congressman Tom McClintock released the following statement after voting No on H.R. 8015, Delivering for America Act.
H.R. 8015 – Setting Our Hair on Fire over the Post Office Act: No.
The U.S. Post Office currently has $14 billion in cash reserves, is funded until August of 2021, and has a $10 billion line of credit that it has not used. Although it is required to 
be self-supporting, it continues to operate at appalling deficits due to its antiquated processes compounded by a dramatic loss of business to the Internet and private carriers. Last year, the bi-partisan U.S. Postal Commission ordered its operations to be streamlined and modernized, and unanimously appointed Louis DeJoy, an internationally renowned expert in logistics, to reorganize the U.S.P.S. for the 21st Century.
DeJoy’s institutional reforms are vigorously opposed by the postal unions and its supporters in Congress. Meanwhile, Democrats have been pressing for universal mail-in elections, in which ballots would be mailed to millions of phantom voters who have moved or died but not removed from the rolls, followed up by “ballot harvesters” to collect them.
The issue of mail-in elections aside, the total votes cast in a presidential election amount to about one third of a single day’s postal volume.
Nevertheless, the Democrats have wildly accused the administration of “undermining the election” by “dismantling the Post Office.” This bill forbids the operational changes to restore solvency to the Post Office and appropriates $25 billion to cover its massive deficits. This is nonsense.

The House Bill - Delivering for America Act
This bill prohibits the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from making changes to operations or levels of service from those that were in effect on January 1, 2020. Specifically, the USPS may not, during the period beginning on enactment of this bill and ending on the last day of the COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) public health emergency or January 1, 2021, whichever is later, implement or approve any change to the operations or the level of service that would impede prompt, reliable, and efficient services, including
- changes in the nature of services that will generally affect service on a nationwide basis;
- revisions of service standards;
- closures or consolidations of post offices or reduction of facility hours;
- prohibitions on payment of overtime pay to USPS officers or employees;
- changes that would prevent the USPS from meeting its service standards or that would reduce measurements of performance concerning those standards;
- changes that would have the effect of delaying mail, allowing non-delivery to a delivery route, or increasing the volume of undelivered mail.
