Why Prolong the Agony?

It's Time For A Change
Lack of leadership and foresight once again. Out GREAT LEADER now says that it's OK for the US Post Office to halt mail deliveries one day a week. He suggest this to curve the Post Office's massive debts accumulating because of the glorious Postal Union.

Even though the Post Office has cut over 100,000 employees in the past few years is can no longer keep up with thie operating costs. Did you know that that the Post Office has borrowed money every year since the Progressive Era began (Woodrow Wilson) in 1913? That's a BAD record for government management.

Recent Records
Last year the Post Office lost over $8.5 BILLION dollars. This year is worse. They claim (rightly so) that the Internet is "stealing away" their business. Apparently email is more efficient than the government version of "snail mail." Who would have figured that one? So what does Obama do? He protects HIS UNION BUDDIES and tells them to keep going only cut one day of service to their customers!

Hey Obama, GO SCREW!

Business Model
Well, just a minute, who's business is it anyway? If the government cannot keep pace with technology, why should we as taxpayers keep bailing them out? Isn't this reason enough to make a change to remedy the situation - and not put a band aid over it?

If a private company is run by poor managers who allow the unions to boost employees salaries and benefits too high, who's fault is that anyway? The Customers? Hardly. That business should be allowed to fail as it rightly should.

The Solution
What Obama should recommend, is to SELL THE POST OFFICE! If there are no bidders, then let it FAIL! Fed-Ex or UPS would probably take it over and we could get RELIABLE service for a change! Don't listen to Obama, he has no answers because he has never had ANY executive experience nor has he ever ran a business. No, he's just protecting his union friends as usual.
