The SOCIALIST - believes that industries should be owned by the people of the nation, not by individuals, and that services like education and health care should be free for everyone. Under socialism, all means of production should be publicly owned. Unlike communists, socialists believe that such things can be achieved through pressure and reform.
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.

How about these guys?
A letter delivered in a few days, anywhere in the country for a few cents. GM and Chrysler would still be viable if they could pull off a miracle like that!
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.
thats not what we hear on the inside Derek....the article is just trying to make it seem like things are not that bad....when they are....and something like 80% or better of the monthly checks are direct deposit...

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.
That proves nothing.....Everybody's business is down.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....
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.

And even their business is in fact off sharply, they're still profitable despite them charging significantly more than the post office.

They don't charge much more, and if you factor in the taxes used for the USPS ultimately you pay about the same, less if you never use mail, for FedEx and UPS.

USPS here gets local taxes when they whine about "going under" ... probably not everywhere, but meh. However since our city is broke and has been for a while they don't get any ...
