I’ll start to take Republican promises of fiscal prudence seriously if they push for repeal of the monopoly the USPS enjoys on first-class mail. AEI’s Kevin Hassett makes the case against this wasteful, inefficient operation here.
Of course, the head of the Postal union sees things differently. He demands more for his members.
Why not pay them more? They would no doubt spend the money, thereby “stimulating” the economy, right? I’d like to see Obama explain his position on the union’s demands.
