re: #576 PT Barnum

I don’t disagree with you neccesarily, but getting back to my original point, the government does a very good job at certain things until the private sector finds a way to do it better and cheaper. I don’t disagree with that. I don’t think we’re at that point with the Post Office yet, but we are headed in that direction. I think it will be a while before that happens.

Funny how a debate digresses into the weeds, eh?

Where do you draw the line on which things the government can do better? That’s a general statement—just curious where you draw the line. I think the USPS has two companies that do compete with it, and if allowed to compete for the remaining business would drive costs down for that part of the business.
