Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe

The U.S. Postal Service is feeling the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. It recently asked for $75 billion in taxpayer funding. President Donald Trump said that any bailout must be conditioned on reform.

Romina Boccia, a fiscal and economic expert at The Heritage Foundation who focuses on government spending and the national debt, joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss why a bailout of the USPS isn't the way to go, what reforms the USPS should adopt, House Democrats' request for $25 billion for the USPS in their fourth coronavirus package, and more.

We also cover these stories:

  • House Democrats release details about their $3 trillion Coronavirus relief package, the fourth major spending proposal amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
  • Dr. Anthony Fauci is warning of the potential dangerous consequences of reopening America too soon.
  • Trump tweets his support for Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who opened his factory again this week against local lockdown orders.
