If the postal service can't function as a private enterprise, let OTHERS take it over "Privatize", and you'll see the efficiency skyrocket. The USPS can't survive as a public or private enterprise as long as Congress continues to require they prefund retiree benefits long into the future. No other business in the country operates under that burden. Remove it, and the prospects are much brighter for the USPS. This postal crisis is an artificial Congressionally created crisis.

"No other business in the country operates under that burden. Remove it, and the prospects are much brighter for the USPS"Yes; that's an Agreement that was a cave-in to the Postal Workers' Union......just like so many other bailouts that Taxpayers get stuck with nowadays.

This postal crisis is an artificial Congressionally created crisis. Name another kind of financial crisis that isn't. Can't wait till they take a crack at running healthcare if they can't even deliver a friggin letter.
