[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 4128017, member: 198"] Only if you don’t understand English or basic math. The post office is to the point where when someone buys a stamp or ships a package they are mainly paying for the pension and benefits of their employees. The costs of running the post office, i.e. paying employees, maintenance, etc., are not being met. It sounds bad, and I don’t care, but a government “service” should not exist primarily to provide a pension and benefits to someone. Particularly if it’s hemorrhaging money. We are not constitutionally bound to have a post office. The Constitution says that the government has the right to have a post office. Not that they are required to have one. It needs to be shut down whether or not it is on a level playing field with private competition. Once the ever shrinking population of baby boomers dies off (and with it most of the minority of people that still use the post office for receiving and sending money) we will end up with a government entity that’s only existence is to deliver unsolicited junk mail to people’s mailboxes and packages that were sent by severely under cutting privately owned competition. All while hemorrhaging money. [/QUOTE]
