But it still is a government monopoly... If we allowed a competitor to come to compete, and offer their service at a lower price it would be more acceptable. I don't know, I still don't think the government should control anything that could be done by private enterprises. We must remember though, its not a very hard operation, nor does it have to be a unified operation to deliver parcels throught the United States. UPS, FedEX, and DHL could probably perform the same opperations for less, plus with their newly generated revenues {they are taxed at the highest corporate tax bracket} we could streamline our government, lower our national debt, while at the same time eliminate a government monopoly and provide a service at lower cost. I know one of you pointed out that gas-prices are high, from privatization etc. but you have to realize that they are still lower that they would be if they were controlled by the government. Im guessing thats why In Italy the price of gas is like $6, compared to our $2, and those countries which create the illusion their gas prices are $2..experience massive inflation.
