Commemorative Plate-Blocks, or Merlot?

I seem to recall another discussion about privatization of this carrier awhile back that reflected the real problem - 80% of their operating cost is payroll.

Cut out some of the damned entitlement programs, cut back on spending, and the postal service could be healthy. I expect my tax dollars to fund agencies like that, the military and some basic services; not free lunch for congressjerks and handouts to 3rd world countries.:mad:
