The USPS needs more than a simple rate increase, Cut working days down by at least 1 and preferably 2, and a slight reduction in workforce (those who are past there 20 year mark, or on the drop program) and you could see an actual self-sustaining government run business, but the Union will have none of that, just bleed out little greenbacks. agreed. this intransigence as far as adjusting our governmental operations is harmful. we should scale back the military, as well. I agree. Close any base that is not located on American soil, bring all troops home from peacekeeping duties, place them as "watchers" at the borders.

I don't think we can scale back our military until we are less reliant on foreign sources for critical resources, such as oil.

I don't think we can scale back our military until we are less reliant on foreign sources for critical resources, such as oil. our main competitors in the future will be China and India. we outspend them 7:1, combined. we could cut our defense budget 72% and still outspend them by a factor of 2.
