More On The USPS
The Postal Service will have to deal in more than just mail. The Wall Street Journal reports USPS is going to have to change its business model if it is going to survive.For more than 200 years, the agency has been almost singularly focused on delivering mail to everyone, everywhere. But that won't keep the Postal Service afloat. In other countries, post offices diversified as soon as they noticed a decline in first-class mail. Now they offer everything from banking to fingerprinting. You can buy jewelry, candy, and children's books. The inspector general's report suggests the Postal Service get into the logistics business by helping big commercial retailers navigate customs in cross-border business.

if the government hadnt put their greedy little paws in money that didnt belong to them the usps might still be in good shape
Government jobs should be a golden parachute.
It's interesting. Herman Cain came out of the chute promoting tax reform. His "999" plan may not be perfect but it left its mark. Now Perry wants to come out with a "Flat Income Tax" proposal. Gincgrich's comment was that at least Cain addresses some realistic problems.
I wonder how long before Cain addresses the USPS situation. It should be interesting.
