Sorry, but I doubt anyone is going to start a business where they will hand deliver a letter from Miami, Florida to Anchorage, Alaska for forty four cents.

Maybe not one letter for 40¢ but 10 million along the way between Florida and Alaska might make it lucrative. It's called economy of scale.

The letter carriers should work 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts, to deliver and pick up mail M/W/F. The individual post offices should be open 1/2 day M -F. Bulk mail centers should operate T/Th/Sa, 2, 12 hour shifts. Any Post Office with less than 10 current full time employees should be shut down or combined. The “managers” in Washington should be reduced by 75% and redeployed nationwide. All pay grades above janitor should be frozen until financial solvency is returned, including payments to the retirement system. The retirement and health benefits reworked after Obamacare is fully repealed, assuming the Republicans have the gonads to do it after the 2012 election.

Funny Truman...I know you are from Austin...but have you heard of the internet...it's an electronic method of delivering the equivalent of a real live letter than can be printed out when you receive it....imagine that! At no cost as well!
