TweetHoly crap! I didn't know they could. I guess nothing lasts forever

TweetI DID READ THE POSTAL SERVICE WAS GOING BANKRUPT...HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN?

TweetIf you've noticed they've scaled things back slowly over the years...don't think it could be totally shut down though...

Tweetthey are saying on the local news they may cancel saturday delivery, but thats all i heard!!

Tweetfurther evidence that the unions and their workers "cadillac" health, benefits, and retirement plans are not sustainable and crippling businesses in this country......

TweetFirst thing the USPS should do, is stop printing stamps. I can imagine that they spend over $100 million a year to print stamps. If they simply make people print postage at home, that would save them HUGE. Anyone who doesn't own a computer, must then use UPS or Fed/EX. If they did that one simple thing, they would save billions in the long run. They would employ less people at various post offices, and cut down on overtime. And, they could get a huge partnership with a computer company like Dell or Compaq, if the USPS promises to recommend one of their computers.
