I don't think the venerable USPO should be privatized. Just look at Kevin Costner's movie "the postman" for inspiration. The Post Office is an icon and a symbol of what made America great. What needs to be done is ...gasp...streamline the bloated bureaucracy. Stop delivering mail on Saturday if that's what it takes. I got a Christmas card from a friend who lives about 12 miles away and it was postmarked about 100 miles in the other direction. Sooner or later the smart people in the private sector will do it better than the zombies who don't care about spending the taxpayers money and I think it's sad to let that happen.
What needs to be done is to increase postal rates.
44 cents to pick up a letter at my house and take it to California?
Try asking UPS or Fed Ex to do that!
And not just one letter either... over half a billion letters daily.
The people wanting a privatized fedex would totally bitch at the four or five times increase in mailing price per letter... unless of course they were shareholders.
Plus, you would have to PAY for fedex or USPS to make a pickup to your residence to receive letters, unlike the USPS which comes for free.
