Same shit they did with the post office... passed laws they knew would bankrupt it and, even though it costs taxpayers NOTHING (yes that's right the post office was always self sufficient before Congress fucked it up) they are killing it so FedEx and UPS will be our only options soon. FedEx is sharpening their anal probe pricing tools right now for when you can no longer go to the Post Office. ;)
