Nationalizing Oil: Well-Intentioned, But Wrong

USPS? Do you REALLY think they can compete against a UPS and/or FedEx WITHOUT all of the taxpayer subsidy? Do you really believe that with a LEVEL playing field, the USPS offers the "best" solution to get your mail where it needs to go when you need it there? Come on.....There's a REASON their "costs" haven't risen - it's called our NATIONAL DEBT. They're simply another line item in a "budget" that spends more than the revenue coming in to offset it. Instead of talking about nationalizing oil, we should be talking about PRIVATIZING things LIKE the USPS, Social Security and the list goes on. We're in the mess we're in because the Federalis refuse to allow the free market to work. What causes "bubbles?" Market speculation? Hardly....Try all the "stimulus" that the Federalis keep throwing into the market. Yes, market corrections ARE painful but it is necessary to flush out the excesses. Come on...There is no "free" lunch.....
