Do we want the government running healthcare when they can’t even run the post office?

Exactly.

Actually the US runs their post office better than just about every country in the world. They’re just effected by the economic and technological trends beyond their control. There are far better arguments against socialized medicine than our pretty efficient postal service.

They can run things alright, right in to the ground! (;^)

Last time I was in a PO, there were 6 cash registers, with one open, occupied by a bloated black female taking about the weather to another black female, moving as slowly as possible, while totally ignoring 30 other people standing in line...

I never want to go to another post office.

That's not a good argument -- the Post Office is basically out-of-date. Most people don't send letters or physical cards anymore -- why do that when email and Facebook and other options are available? Post Offices around the world are realising they are being steadily outmoded -- just like the Telegraph office or the Stagecoach business.
