Why we should open mail delivery to private business

The USPS is planning on proposing a 5-day mail schedule due to major losses during 2009.

This is a prime example of why we should allow private mail delivery. Companies like UPS and FedEx already have the infrastructure in place to provide mail delivery and they would be able to push down postal rates for first-class mail.

Instead, we continue to have a poorly run, inefficient bureaucracy that wastes our money, and will become slower and more cumbersome as it flails in the wake of email.
