If there wasn't a law that banned 1st Class Mail being delivered by UPS and/or FedEx and/or another profitable carrier, I wonder how much more the USPS volume wold decrease? I say let the marketplace decide who does a better deal, by leveling the playing field. Let FedEx etc sell 1st class stamps and deliver 1st class mail. If the junk mail mailers want to pay to have their junk mail delivered, why don't they pay the same rates as 1st class? It costs just as much to drive the mail truck down my country road to deliver a 1st class letter as it does that pile of crap that I throw away unopened anyway. The USPS is another 'private' agency like FannieMae and FreddieMac, and is operated with just about the same level of ethics.
Privatize or die.
