The Postal Service

     In Newsweek I recently read an article about the potential privatization of the Postal Service.  This would be the wrong choice for America.  The congress could solve the fiscal problems of the Post Office, but has chosen not to.  You can thank the Republican "Just Say No" approach to lawmaking.

     I would not trust a private corporation to assume the role of the post office.  Just look at other government responsibilities and posts that have been privatized.  Here and around the world the examples serve as a warning.  The American Enrichment Corporation,  has caused costs to skyrocket.  British Petroleum an efficient state owned company was privatized and we all know how that ended. 

    There are somethings in our everyday life that should not be based on a for profit motive.  The postal service is one of them.  Our Postal Service in the US is a very efficient and affordable service that no-one is unable to use should they wish to.
