There are some really interesting articles here, but I was especially pleased to see the one about the Postal Service. Most people still seem to believe that it is supported by tax $$ and some politicians are even talking about cuts in funding in order to balance the budget. Surprise!!! It was defunded in the 70's by the Postal Reauthorization Act. It would be pretty hard to shave federal money from the USPS since none exists. The post office needs a PR campaign to educate the public because they are woefully ignorant and our media and even some our elected officials (who should certainly know better) do nothing to correct the misconceptions!
