Kindof like the big guy in the sky deal. <br /><br />That's a con tactic, it's a psychological trick. W, Palin, RayGun, they all know it works.

Understand, if possible considering your propaganda-clouded leftist mind, that you pay one way or the other. Healthcare won't be free, you just might not have to pay at the doctor's office. <br /><br />I gurantee you that you pay more for USPS than UPS or Fedex when all things are considered, you've just allowed the gubmint to pull the wool over your eyes with promises of shiny baubles. <br /><br />We have no use for such ignorance in this country.

On the other hand, I receive 2-3 day package delivery from the USPS for the price of 7-10 delivery from anyone else. And what about all the weight you can ship, up to 70 pounds, for a low price that the USPS offers? <br /><br />And I agree Pogo, what is with the non profit status of the USPS? Their commie loving blood certainly shines through their thin skin as why don't they make a profit to pay their execs those fat bonuses and salaries? We know how the cons love their fat cats, with their excessive compensation, so I agree Pogo, let the USPS make a profit. We don't want to ruin the cons vicarious world of make believe, in that they too, will soon be a fat cat.Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420424552853058974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19318880.post-20222239360005086762009-08-13T22:51:05.914-04:002009-08-13T22:51:05.914-04:00I may be mistaken but is it not government mandate...I may be mistaken but is it not government mandates as to health insurance coverage that contribute to high costs? You may be paying for sex change or drug treatment coverage and not want it. <br />The Postal service is effectively bankrupt according to the <a href="http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-09-790T" rel="nofollow">GAO</a> and without its monopoly on the delivery of first class mail could not compete with UPS or FEDEX. It does not rely on private sources to raise capital but is supported by taxes collected at gunpoint by the government in order cover its losses and to keep down its rates for packages.<br /><i>"I...prefer to drive 20 minutes to a UPS drop off."</i><br />At least it's Your choice instead someone with a gun:o)Pogohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067382603590454738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19318880.post-8842448243147439382009-08-13T20:23:33.754-04:002009-08-13T20:23:33.754-04:00Yes and the insurance companies do such magnificen...Yes and the insurance companies do such magnificent job of managing health care and keeping the costs low. And Medicare sucks so bad as compared to the glorious insurance companies. And what's with the USPS with online labeling and front door pickup of packages. I refuse to use that convenience, and instead prefer to drive 20 minutes to a UPS drop off.Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420424552853058974noreply@blogger.com
