I don’t think we should compare ourselves to Europe. They’re not exactly the role model we need. And the libs are trying to get us there fast enough.
Mark Steyn once said that Americans wanted all the benefits provided to citizens in Scandinavia without paying the same level of taxation. The USPS must provide services to everyone no matter where they live unlike a private company that can determine what is profitable or not. Compare the costs of FedEx and UPS services with the USPS.
I am not one of the bashers of the USPS. I have lived abroad for over 25 years in nine different countries. I have a frame of reference to compare services and costs. It has nothing to do with role models.
