USPS to go under

[NuclearShadow]

The Government has its hands in way too many Businesses. USPS is a business let it function like one, no bail out, no tarp, no stimulus , no federal funding. In the real world if something doesn't work it fails, they close up shop and someone else takes over. This whole "we got your back" thing is killing our nation. *Steps down from soap box*

It would be extremely odd to see this happen to the USPS as its owned by the nation to begin with. It would be impossible to rationally explain why corporate bailouts were passed and defend it. At the time of the bailout only 25 senators voted against it and those 25 were 15 Republicans and 10 Democrats. This leaves the vast majority of both parties with a-lot to explain if they are willing to bail out private corporations but not USPS which is technically owned by every single American. Even if our media ignores this issue and each and every one of them never discuss it, it can still cause problems for them.

I know if I was planning to run for the next senate race if I was running against someone who voted for the bailouts and yet let USPS collapse I would certainly use this as
a great way to attack their voting history and behavior within the senate. Would you support someone who is willing to give the tax dollars you put in to better this nation to private corporations and yet lets America itself fail?

Looks Like Some Facts need to be presented here about the USPS.

1. USPS is self funded for years now no Government help all costs and salaries come from postage.
2. Go set out side a postal hub sometime and just watch how many UPS trucks come in and out. THEY USE USPS TO FOR A LOT OF THEIR OWN DELIVERIES ! ( I think Fed EX also does not sure on that one though) .
3. If you think UPS and Fed Ex are expensive now just wait until they have their biggest competition removed!
