What do the Post Office, the Senate and Congress Have in Common?

They are all government agencies who lose money each year, but receive raises and bonuses while they talk down privately owned companies.

There has also been a story out recently about the amount of flying that politicians are doing on private jets with our money. The congress and senate are pushing their green initiatives by taking private jets everywhere they go. Not only is this ironic based on pretend green concerns and the cost of flying privately, but it is also maddening since they are so fiercely attacking private companies for doing the same things. Do all government agencies just think we are stupid?
