Stop Picking on the Post Office

I am tired of the Republican Right denigrating and ridiculing the post office. I think they do a pretty good job. Delivering a letter across the country in two days for 41 cents is not a bad deal. And their latest compaign, "If it fits it ships" is brilliant.

Yet I agree, in this age of email and FedEx we could gradually disband the USPS and be no worse off. We'd pay more, but the government would save money, too.

Now they're comparing the "public option" to the post office, a comparison that makes no sense. Knock it off. The employees of the post office deserve more than that.
