While I'm no fan of government squashing free enterprise, I think the decision to shut down the American Mail Letter Company was the fiscally responsible choice. The post office is required to provide universal service. They use the profits from short trips between large cities like New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Boston (the only places the American Mail Letter company serviced) to subsidize the trips that are not profitable (ie North Carolina to California back then). Generally I'm no fan of subsidies either, but I do think universal service is (in effect) a right for all of us, that should be protected. For me the real affront to liberty is the dismantling of the Postal Service happening today, through nonsensical congressional mandates and subsidizing businesses.

On a side note, I really wish people were more aware of what's actually happening with the postal service. Dead, maybe, but not from natural causes.
Nothing about the USPS is natural. It's current existence is an affront to liberty on numerous levels.
How so? I've heard similar statements about the Postal Service before, but never quite understood in what way. Could you explain?
Look up a guy named Lysander spooner
