This from my buddy Fred in Florida:
The response of the post office to their financial crisis really displays the difference between "government-think" and private enterprise. Faced with a financial crisis the government approach is this:
1. Raise prices,
2. Cut services, and
3. Look for a subsidy…
…to survive.
The private enterprise response is as follows:
1. Cut prices and
2. Improve services…
…to survive.
Pick one.
