I have mixed feelings about the USPS. On the one hand, it seems like a good public service -- and certainly essential when it was created and up until recently. But 99% of what comes in my mail box goes straight in the trash. We do everything we can to stop email spam, why not stop postal spam? If the government offered email as a public service, perhaps there wouldn't need to be any reason for postal mail in terms of ensuring a means of communication that reaches every one. The Postal Service could still exist but would be quite expensive and only used for things that actually matter (i.e., original legal documents like car title, etc.)
