The USPS is not government run and if it no longer existed, yeah UPS and FEDEX would be happy to deliver your letter for about 100 times the cost.

I'm still wondering what ya'll think about Medicare and the VA? GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.
If it weren't for Medicare there would be Senior citizens dying in droves as private health care would either refuse to cover them or charge them more than the vast majority could afford. So, either we the people would foot the bill or let them die. Talk about pulling the plug on granny.
