All those services could be provided for less cost if contracted out. Then the government would have more money without raising taxes.
And that's incorrect. Don't believe me? Try mailing a regular letter via FEDEX or UPS.
So you think that if the government didn't monopolize mailing of letters that no other company could possibly fill that niche?
Fed Ex and UPS have no need to offer that service now so why should they?
If there was a need either one or both of those companies would be competing to fill void
Yep. The CEO of Fed Ex wanted to take over the US Post Office.
I'm sure he would have done a better job than the'Govt is doing as the PO is in the hole very year due to their bs policies on retirement.
