How to Make Health Care More Efficient

Before you write, try Google. The USPS has made profits in recent years, and has shown significant reduction in costs. Overnight services were smart, they identified a need that no one was filling. USPS was unable to fulfill it. Let me know what college you went to so that I can knock it off my son's list of choices!

Wait ... what? Babbling is not truth you know. Aside from the great facts Dude posted just before this, you do realize, of course they are cutting costs ... they have no money to spend so they have to. They are obsolete and poorly managed ... the fact that you think they are "doing a good job" ... you are not paying any attention.

Unless you posted sarcasm, you are just dead wrong.

In China, the fellow that headed the company that put the contaminated baby food on the market was summerily shot. We should have done the same for the CEO of the peanunt butter company whose contaminated product killed several people here in the US.

That's the best you've got? And, your playing the Tanqueray Teddy card for the third time? "Dry out behind the ears," now that's original. When you've got something that isn't TRITE find me, and I'll hope for a laugh. You know the members pity you.

TRITE
1. lacking in freshness or effectiveness because of constant use or excessive repetition; hackneyed; stale: the trite phrases in his letter.
2. characterized by hackneyed expressions, ideas, etc.: The commencement address was trite and endlessly long.
3. Archaic. rubbed or worn by use.

Over the last 70 years I cannot think of one single federal government run program that has been managed well. It's hard for me to imagine them taking over health care. There has got to be a better solution to our health care problems. I believe it's in the private sector, & government needs to get out of the way--allow interstate competition--& do the hard part--by mandating that all citizens obtain coverage--or pay a fine or higher taxes.

Washington, D.C.—Reflecting the continuing shrinkage of direct mail marketing and the changing communication habits of the American public, the U.S. Postal Service reported a net loss of $677 million for May, bringing to $3.4 billion its total losses in the current fiscal year.

In addition, the USPS reported it processed 2.8 billion fewer pieces of mail in May, compared with the same month in 2008.



The USPS is on track to lose about $6 billion in its fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.

No thanks I'll send mine through e-mail and if it has to get there well...

FEDX or UPS

The difference between them is pretty obvious... the Post Office will tell you they don't use taxpayer funds and are completely on their own. However, that doesn't stop them from going to congress and asking money though....

Washington (AP) - Postmaster General John Potter said Wednesday the financially strapped U.S. Postal Service will run out of money this year without help from Congress.

The only lingering question, Potter told a House subcommittee, is which bills will get paid and which will not. He did say ensuring the payment of workers' salaries comes first. But Potter also said other bills may have to wait.

Absolutely True, and you are one of them. The USPS has been making profits and cutting costs. Here is the link,

Postal Service Turns a Profit in Q1

Now, do I have to research how SSA gets all those checks out on the third of each month, or do you think you are a big boy, and can Google it yourself? Typical private-sector, always to look on top of things while trying to steal a buck.

Yeah....They're so efficient and trustworthy that numerous private carriers have sprung up, charging at least twice what the USPS does for overnight service, and are still rollin' in the dough.

Leave it to a brain dead Fabian socialist to use the Post Office as a model of "success"

Of course, the USPS has also become a HUGE money pit, that hasn't paid for itself in decades.

But you dumbshits g'head and keep on using it as example of "success".

Good lord, the postal service is run well??????????????? You libs gotta be kiddin or you are just flat stupid.

sorry Dude but according to the Fed X and UPS guys on my route those guys are hurting just as bad as the PO....routes are being condensed due to diminishing volume....same as the PO....the FedX guy told me that their volume is down 60%....thats a lot....
