They bought the house so he could relocate. For 1.2 million.  Couldn't he afford the move? And they "hope" to sell it for its appraised value? In a declining market? Brilliant. No wonder postage is going up. |

Based on that article, if you do the math, the postal service has relocated over 1000 people by buying their homes. They lost an average of $50k on each in 2007 and $58k on each 2008. If you just round the numbers to 1000 relocations at a loss of $50k each, that's $50MIL!!!

| Of the 1,022, 14 cost between $1 million and $2.8 million. All of those have been sold, Frey said, but typically at a loss once closing costs, attorneys fees and commissions are paid. So they're pissing away even more money due to losses on re-sale... Brilliant! |

If you work for the Federal Government. Well certain jobs anyway. If you get promoted, They pay for your Move. You are given a time frame to sell your house. If you can't sell it. The Government will buy it at I think 80% of it's Value. Maybe 100%... Now if you was just transfering and not getting promoted. The house is your problem. Problems like this is whats dooming us. Larger Companies have been spending money they didn't have and cutting cost in areas that shouldn't be cut. Cali laid off 10,000 Correction Officers.... Cali has some very rough Prisons. Doesn't sound like a good spot to cut cost to me. |

The C.O.s in California are a huge part of the problem. I have several friends that are or were C.O.s and I told them 10 years ago that they couldn't continue to milk the system the way they did. Now they and the entire state in paying the price for it. Add that to the liberal idiots that run the state and it's was only a matter of time. |
