To the new communications and transportation capabilities that weve developed. Given the shifting culture and those expectations for speed and ontime delivery, im reluctant. You have to look at the economics of all of this and the trade offs and costs, but i hate to see the Postal Service give up one, two, three. Thank you. Mr. Miller. Mr. Chairman two things. One, as i recollect, the rational for this change in Service Standards was developed after i left. I dont know the details of it. I hesitate to answer because without having time to analyze the data. Second, there is a trade off obviously. You cant do all things for all people. You have to make some choices here. Service standards should be an input into the question of plant and logistical rationalization it seems to me. I just dont have i dont have my hands on the information necessary i understand. Everything else equal. I think theres something nice about having as you characterize, a one, two, three kind of standard. You wou
The centers changed the standard of delivery and gone from one, two, three, days to modified one so au so if youre in the same met oe metropolitan area. Thats modified one. If were outside the area, you might get it. You may not. Modified one, two, three. I think the Postal Service would like to go to two, three. Two day even in the same metropolitan area. It would be one but two would be the expectation and three. In terms of whats appropriate for us, im not comfortable with the Postal Service saying this is how many Mail Processing centers we should have. Some people say the more appropriate thing for us to do maybe with the involvement of the Regulatory Commission is to consider whether or not modified one, two, three days of service is appropriate. One, two, three is better or two, three is just fine. I would welcome any comments that you all have in it regard. Ms. Kennedy. I picked on mr. Miller all afternoon. Maybe i should come to you. My first thought is if we have declining fi
Their leadership to threaten a Government Shutdown and potentially threaten to not raise the debt ceiling if they cant shut off the Affordable Care act also known as obama care. They are actually willing to plunge america into default if we cant defund the Affordable Care act. House republicans were at the wheel this morning when they passed a short term bill to fund the government and avoid a shutdown on october 1st but it was also another chance to him the brakes on obama care. Nice. Why does it feel were driving in circles . Because we are. This place is a mess. Lets get our house in order. What is brought to the floor today is without a doubt without a doubt a measure designed to shut down government. At a time when the economy is barely eking along, wages are arent increasing, new jobs arent available and what are we doing . Were putting more costs and more inconvenience on the American People . And so our message to the United States senate is real simple, the American People don
history. they re going out, but they re not about to win. yeah, i mean, mad men won several years in a row with drama, and then last year got tons of nominations and didn t win at all, didn t win any em s emmys, as i recall. the big question with mad men since it has won before, what happens with jon hamm, are they really going to let this guy go without ever getting an emmy and i think the thinking is it s tough because kevin spacey has knocked people out. but jon hamm is really a guy whose turn is still waiting to come. jon hamm is killing it, but it s hard when somebody comes down from hollywood like kevin spacey, a real fantastic actor, and kills it on house of cards which is a first-rate show. john wiseman, thank you very much. miley cyrus is not expected at the emmy awards on sunday, but we asked our facebook friends if they think anyone will reprice the role of twerker. debby durham said well she could
0 we re putting more costs and more inconvenience on the american people? and so our message to the united states senate is real simple, the american people don t want the government shutdown and they don t want obama care. [ applause ] let s broaden this out to planes and trains and automobiles theme because kristen welker is flying with the president. what s going on? well, president obama just wrapped up his remarks here in kansas city, missouri. set against the back drop of this ford plant which he has argued has come roaring back since the recession. this is one of a series of speeches he s given this week to tout the progress that has been made since the economy collapsed five years ago. but of course, part of his main message was aimed squarely at republicans and said to congress, do your job. this after the house earlier today passed that temporary spending measure which you mess i can tell you, tour e, we were talking to folks who came to hear the president speak. they are
