Commentary: There Are More Important Things To Worry About Than PMG's Pay

Association for Postal Commerce: "These are tough times. The economy has fallen off the ledge. The stock market has plummeted. Consumers are tightening their fists. And, to make matters worse, the Postal Service is facing the worst crisis it has ever faced since its founding by the new American republic. There have been staffing freezes, pay freezes, and employees have been told that even harder changes may still lie ahead. So, as humans often do when they get such unpleasant news, the search is on for someone to blame.

Shortly after the presidential inauguration, the target of blame was the Bush Administration. Now with only two months under its belt, the target has shifted to the Obama Administration. Within postal circles, the one walking around with a target on his back is the person who is called Postmaster General."
