Great points, we could also sell/lease the US Post Office and get rid of that burden.
Great point Art. The US Post Office is a case study on how the government should not run a business. The post office has a failing business model and has failed to adapt. For one, the drop in documents being mailed becuase of e-mail. How did they not see that one coming. Secondly, charging the same rate regardless of where you are mailing to, across the town or across the country and they charge the same. I think they are legally bound to this policy, but it should be changed. Go to a tiered system,something like breaking the countryies into regions and mailing from one region the the next would cost you more. How about getting into the e-commerce software business to facilitate on-line bill paying to replace the loss of bills being mailed. The opportunties are endless.
