Mike, Mike, Mike. Look at what you just said. Your statement undermines the case for government healthcare. Fed Ex and UPS thrive not because they have the Postal Service to compete against, they thrive b/c private industry is much more effecient than government run anything.

These guys cant even get CASH for CLUNKERS right! Car dealerships are pulling out of the C4C program b/c they are tired of waiting for the money. The bureaucracy of C4C is taking so long these dealers have quit the program out of frustration! The first time they ran out of money in the first month when it was supposed to last until November.

now you have one of your supporters, Warrewn buffet warning the BO administration that they are going to kill any financial recovery if they dont stop all of this deficit spending---and he endorsed OBAMA!

If the government would get out of the way of insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, HMOs, doctors, medical service providers, etc. The private industry would provide much better, less expensive healthcare. Watch UPS and FedEx really take off when the Postal Service closes its doors.
