The Postal Service is losing money at an enormous rate. The Wall Street Journal reported on it today in this article. Now there are many reasons for this, but I figure if they stopped advertising on TV, they may be able to save a couple of bucks.
A few moments ago, there was a knock at my front door. It was a representative from the census bureau, handing me our census form. The government paid someone to personally hand me my census form. It comes with a postage paid return envelope. Now I'm not complaining, the way I figure it there would be some people who wouldn't return it based on that. But to send it out? Wouldn't it cost less to send it in the mail?
