| Message | I presume you mean he's not a radical capitalist like yourself? Honestly, this is a very mild bill and I don't see why you would vote to have no national postal service. At present, the government cannot take part in the postal service or regulate it. The private postal agencies are running amok charging whatever prices they like and conforming to whatever standards they choose. We need a reliable postal service that is nationwide and that will set a standard for the other postal serivces to try and measure up to. |
