Chrysler Corporation was to add a new car to it's line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter was to begin production in Canada this year, but the car had to be pulled out of production when initial tests showed that the little white lines on the road kept disappearing all the time.

Reform anything government?
You all gotta be kidding.

The soft underbelly of the US Government. I don't know of any other featherbed this soft for over-paid, under-worked, semi-skilled laborers who have the nerve to be surly to boot. Get rid of them all.

Dump the entire tawdry, inept, USPS ASAP!!!

Generally speaking, I have a positive opinion of the USPS. As an outsider looking in, I think they could change some of their practices to boost efficiency, but I think they do a good job. I'm not sure there's a private company out there willing to deliver individual pieces at under $.50 per to virtually anywhere in the U.S. But if there is, bring it on I guess...

Last year, for the first time in recent history, the volume of first-class mail—which constitutes more than 57 percent of the Postal Service's revenue— actually declined. Standard mail dropped even more precipitously.

If this happened to Ford, or GE or IBM or even the business I owned, what would they/I do? Let go of excess employees. You constantly read about companies doing this.

So, how many folks has the USPS laid off in the last year?

Obviously, not enough or they wouldn't be loosing money.
