Postal Service May Be Urged to Privatize

Here’s an idea that’s long overdue. Remove the Post Office’s monopoly power and make them compete with UPS, FedEx and new services on a level playing field. I doubt that a private for-profit corporation would make anywhere near as many idiotic operating decisions as the bozos currently running the USPS.

Here’s just one recent local example. In what is most likely a typical logistical decision by the USPS geniuses, the regional managers here in Arkansas have decided that the Harrison mail, which is sent from within Harrison and sorted separately from mail with other destinations, will be sent an hour and a half away to Fayetteville, Arkansas to be sorted and then returned to Harrison for delivery by the carriers. So, in the tiny town of Harrison, it will take at least three days for mail sent from inside Harrison to be delivered inside Harrison. This is ripe for a new company to take over local deliveries. I’m sure it’s similar all around the country.

GOP Wimps

It was too good to be true to believe that the Left Coast Republicans could actually have the guts to start recall proceedings against any of their elected officials who vote for higher taxes. The person who proposed that is now being pilloried & censured by the party’s executive board.

If both big parties see nothing wrong with continuing to squeeze the taxpayers, who is looking out for the taxpayers’ interest? It was this very attitude in the PRC that made me want to leave ten years ago after 38 years in what I had always imagined would be my life-long home.

As this article describes, a short-sighted move by the rulers in Sacramento to dig out of the current fiscal problems by raising taxes will just end up making things worse for the PRC as more businesses and taxpayers finally reach their limits and bail.
