Post Master General To Cut Saturday Delivery…Bring on Government Run Health Care

clipped from republicanredefined.com In a move that admittedly makes me sad while smiling, the Post Master General John Potter announced today that he intends to ask Congress to make the necessary changes to appropriation legislation to allow him to cut mail service down to five days eliminating Saturday delivery.  Neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night can keep the mail from going through, but a raging recession, growing costs, private-sector competition, and government inefficiency will do the trick…  Republicans on Capitol Hill have to be loving this development.  Could there be a better example of the federal government’s shortcomings in the administration and implementation of services?  How about five years from now cutting back doctor-patient visits to Monday through Friday as well.
