Billions Spent, Few Trucks Delivered: The USPS EV Fiasco

“At any given time, the U.S. government is spending taxpayer dollars that are being wasted. Today’s example is being delivered by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). That’s a shame, because with around 533,000 career employees and another 106,000 non-career employees, the Postal Service accounts for about one out of every five of the U.S. government’s three million civilian employees. From post offices to stamp machines, mailboxes, and mail trucks, they represent the most visible connection Americans have with the federal government in their daily lives. But that connection doesn’t prevent them from squandering the resources of the taxpayers whose interests they are supposed to serve.” (12/18/25)
