He provided a simple mathematical formula based on an estimated 150 million possible mail in votes. Perhaps the Democrat leadership in asking for $25 Billion to âinsure the mail in votes are handled expeditiouslyâ, knows there will be significantly more votes flooding the USPS?

It was an offer during the last round and you know it. Stop demanding links.

While ignoring the fact that delivering ballots isnât all that money would be spent on. Quote the large variable

OKâŚso 25 billion dollars in overtime pay that comes to 200 per ballots?
â â â â Iâll help em deliver em for that priceâŚand I wouldnât be burning em in my burn barrel either.
Democrats in May passed a coronavirus aid bill that would have provided $25 billion to the USPS, which is heavily in debt and is not able to fund its pension adequately.
Republicans rejected the amount, and Trump officials instead offered $10 billion, which was rejected by Pelosi.
Now, Pelosi plans to bring a bill to the floor that would both prohibit changes to post office services and provide the additional $25 billion.
Democrats accuse Postmaster General Louis DeJoy of implanting changes to hinder the post office ahead of the November election. They also accuse DeJoy, a prominent GOP donor, of having a conflict of interest because of his investment in Amazon.
The $25 billion is equal to what was recommended by the USPS Board of Governors, a Democratic aide told the Washington Examiner .

I donât have to prove anything. Iâm just questioning why she needs 25 billion dollars to make sure ballots get delivered in timely fashion.

The Postmaster General or whoever he is has already done the math and says he can handle it with what he has.
Pelosi knows it wonât get through the Senate and if it does, she wants the President to veto it so she can scream âVOTER SUPPRESSION!!!â
Sheâs trying to regain the initiative she lost with the EOs.
Theyâs got $10B they havenât even touched beyond their budget.
More ventilators and hospital ships.
