Many fine proposals have been put forward: get them into the broadband business, change the crippling pre-funding of pensions, let post offices offer vanilla banking services to the public within their delivery areas -- daily postal service is one of the major currencies of our lives, and you don't mess with people's currency.
The fact that someone comes to my door, takes a couple of letters from me and delivers them thousands of miles away to the exact persons I want to receive them for less than a dollar is the best service for cost any of us ever get in our daily lives. The postal service is one of those things that's great because it's public: it's all of us, every day, contributing and profiting from this incredibly cool scheme that a good 99% of us appreciate and support tremendously.
I know, I know, there's all this cash and gear being used to deliver letters to houses that's not being filtered into private corporate accounts at UPS and FedEx. What a tragedy they couldn't get their logos into the Constitution.
