Speaking of the Devil

In my Guess the State blog the other day, I talked about how the Post Office is over budget, in the red, asking for more money, and delivering the same services but at ever increasing costs. Well, in this AP article on Breitbart.com, the Postmaster General told Congress that "massive deficits could force the post office to cut out one day of mail delivery." If you go to the USPS website and look up "Postal Facts" you can read the following; $75 billion budget, $54.6 billion spent on employee salaries and employ 685,000 people which means they make on average $79,708 a year. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't mind an easy job like mail delivery if that's how much they make.

But let's recall, this is a Federal Agency. It exists because our Constitution requires it. It's the only monopolized business allowed to exist, and it's a Nationalized business at that. But this is the type of system you can expect to see in place at your local bank if the Obama Administration and his lackeys in Congress go ahead and Nationalize our banking system. Diminished services at ever increasing costs.

I take it you're being facetious. Otherwise, I'd like to hear how taking money from 75% of the population and giving it to 25% of the population is a good thing.
