That kind of thinking is from someone who doesn't believe the free market can deliver goods/services better than gov't.
======================================
To begin with, we don't have a free market system. And it's not a matter of belief -- The government does do a better job (efficiently and more cost-effectively) of goods and services. That's just a fact, Jack.
There are several factors to the USPS's woes, and privatization of some of what was a Constitutionally mandated service is probably the leading reason. When the bulk of what the USPS has been left to do is first class mail (which is still a bargain at 44 cents), and that is dwindling due to email and electronic communications, and it can't offset all of the expenses (overhead, etc.) with the pricier transactions, it's being bled to death. By the way, FedEx and UPS don't do it cheaper; they just do it 'custom'. And if the USPS ends (which is going to take a Constitutional amendment), just wait to see what a fortune private carriers are going to charge for first class mail.
