Are Postal Service blues the next fashion trend?

Keeping the USPS on life support with tax dollars and then setting them up to compete with private business sounds like a leap from socialism to communism.  Where does this government intend to stop?  They have brought us unwinnable wars, drones for civilian spying, bail-outs of bankrupt companies (think GM), an unaffordable expansion of so called "entitlements", a rape of the Social Security system, confounded lies about terrorism attacks on our embassies, unsustainable immigration policies, "investments" in startup companies that completely failed,  a loss in our credit rating, a total mismanagement of the postal system, a fiasco of gun sales to known drug dealers, lies about the real inflation level (remember we don't count food and fuel), usurious loan rates by credit card companies, outrageous bank fees that impact the poorest members of our society, the loss of any and all prestige in the world, a major percentage of the population dependent on the government for welfare, food stamps and unemployment checks; over $16,000,000,000.000.​00 in debt, the most costly and least effective education system of any advanced nation; a bureaucratic system that is unsustainable in either cost or effectiveness and a congress more interested in protecting perks that in strengthening the nation.  Not too many years ago in China everyone dressed in Mao costumes in blue or grey, but now they are modernizing to western style and dress and they are doing it with the money we send them to buy the shoddy clothes most Americans wear. I suppose the USPS' latest move is to get us to dress like the mindless mob of people we are fast becoming.

When do we stop this march to 3rd. world existence?  We keep telling ourselves we are the greatest nation in the world and that we are the world leaders.  We send our troops overseas at great expense to eliminate, or render ineffective, the Taliban and other terrorist groups yet we can't even control the gangs in Chicago, Los Angeles or other major cities. We'd do better by revamping our own government and by giving real leadership to the people of this country.
