I agree with you on everything except the post office and rates ... that is basically a private enterprise now. They are in trouble due to the internet. Electronic communication, ACH bill pay for individuals and business and advertising and catalogs going electronic. Even with that, our postal rates are about 1/3 of other countries and much better service. Rates will have to go up more and that will also drive more away from paper form ... which is good. We will soon see 5 day service, and over time i would say we will drop to 3 day delivery for households first (business 5 day) and eventually businesses will drop to 3 days as well. I would say the 5 day will be within 2 years and 3 days in 5 - 7 years.
