The U.S. Postal Service reports it will curtail deliveries because of budgetary problems.
For the benefit of all citizens, I would suggest the postal services be a fully funded federal operation without the notion it must operate at a profit or be self-supporting. Should our military operate at a profit?
The military and postal service are essential to our national safety and citizen welfare. Funding should not be an issue.
That is not to say these services become inefficient or involved with any possible fraud, waste or abuse. Ongoing verification and accountability would be the watchwords for keeping costs down.
