Agreed. Just fund it, since it is in fact the only government service specifically mandated in the Constitution.It would actually be turning a profit right now if it was not required to pre-fund 75 years worth of health benefits in a ten year window, something which no other business or entity has ever been forced to do.The 2006 law was designed to bankrupt the USPS with the goal of privatizing it.No private company is going to deliver mail to rural areas at a loss, like the USPS is required to do.But if you live in a rural area, fear not, Clem is going to pick up your mail and bring it to you.Misty: The private sector cannot be forced to deliver mail to rural areas at a loss, like the Postal Service is obligated by law to do.People in rural areas will not be served by the private sector.Bulls***. If worse came to worse, it would be delivered in bulk to an area, divided into large parcels, and neighbors would help each other out. Wow, it'd be really tough for me to drive half a mile, pick up my mail and that of my neighbors a few times a week, right?The idea that Americans can't manage to get their own mail or help others is utterly absurd, leftist psychosis.Of course that probably wouldn't be legal. LOLClem is all for private companies reaping the profits, while we have to somehow manage to get our own mail.That sounds like corporate welfare.
