Well, the post office has done an amazing job mechanizing its processes.  Mail can now start on one coast and get to the other in a few days.

However, all those people who used to work there ten, fifteen or twenty years ago (and who were retired or replaced) now sit on the payrolls as retirees and pension recipients.

So, someone can work at the post office for 25 years, hauling bags of mail, sweeping the floors, or selling stamps.  Then, at retirement, they get full pay and health benefits.  Oh, you also get whatever you’ve chosen to put in your 403(b).

I bet the single biggest expense on the Post Office’s books is retirement benefits.  Let’s trim those figures a little and see if we can’t balance their books!

Convert these Post Offices to Single Payer Health Offices, 7 Billion is a drop in the bucket compared to the monstrous wastes of lives and money in the antiquated, inefficient “For Profit” exploitation.

Five days a week?  Good, that’s less crap to fill my mailbox and end up in the recycle bin.  Thing is, who needs mail anymore except old folks who can’t use the internet?  Well, I guess doctor bills still come in the mail but that will probably change too.
