Does anyone really stop and think what the post office does on a daily basis? I have yet to find a privet company that has worked as efficiently and consistently. And, being governmentally run, the post office's goal isn't to make a profit. No government program is run to make a profit.
Alas, the wing nuts forced the Post Office to be spun off to operate as a non-governmental quasi-business. That is when a lot of the problems at the Post Office started. Their mission was unchanged, but revenue sources were cut and strict limits were imposed on what they could charge. No thought was given to the essential societal function that the Post Office provides. It is a tribute to their managers that the Post Office continues to do a fairly good job.
This is standard wing-nut strategy to make government look bad. They stack the deck against the organization so that they can use it as a whipping boy in support of their bizarre, unworkable political philosophies. Now as Obama gradually fixes their mess people are already forgetting the terrible Bush-Cheney ideological mis- management that got us into our current economic situation. Note that while millions of middle-class Americans lose their jobs, the American oligarchs continue to pay themselves $100,000,000 bonuses. And for the upcoming G8 meeting it has already been announced that the US will oppose putting a lid on the oligarchs. Even a US President is unable to stand against them.
