The U.S. Post Office should be privatized overtime and the cost of mailing a letter should be what ever is determined by competition. My guess is that it would be well above $0.44 on average per small envelop and not a one price goes anywhere. But so what? With online banking, email, text, fax, phone, internet, and other electronic means of communication, I find that I have little use for the U.S. mail being delivered to, or picked up from, my residence. The Post Office is operating at such a huge loss, the immediate actions should be to close offices, lay off workers, reduce standard delivery to 3 days per week, and figure out how to use their priority shipping to compete with UPS and FedEx. The unions and left-leaning politicians will do their best to prevent any intelligent action.
