Said 'fail' all due to congress and their idiotic squabbling and
idea that the PO should be a PAYING commercial concern!
Hell, IF even CONGRESS, The Presidunce and other bireaucracies
would PAY FOR THEIR MAIL, then the PO -=would=- be on a sound
footing.
The Pollies think that the PO is still a gummint operation, until it
comes to funding, then they lay it off onto the small users!
Robert Shapiro — former Treasury undersecretary and chairman of the economic
consultancy Sonecon — points out in a new analysis, American taxpayers
subsidize the USPS at a rate that surpasses the costs associated with any
Congressional mandate. He estimates that, all told (! - VM), the subsidies
and legal monopolies that Congress bestows upon the post office is worth $18
billion annually.
