[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 581741, member: 4932"] I think that one possibility would be for Congress to privatize the USPS. Truly privatize it, not the hybrid that exists today. In effect, put the USPS through bankruptcy, and allow bids for the restructured entity. The restructured entity should only deliver first class mail. I think this should still be a monopoly. Every other class of mail should be open to free competition from any and all comers. The restructured entity would be a business that is not under the control of Congress in any way; it's managers would have a free hand to deliver the mail as efficiently as possible. If it turns out that delivering a first class piece of mail can't be done at a rate people are willing to pay, so be it. More and more first class mail will find other ways to be delivered. That's what UPS and FedEX and other delivery companies face in a competitive market. [/QUOTE]
