Wait, so the fact that we have the Internet and e-mail means that the USPS wasn't able to be a profitable company for a hundred odd years?

Because conservatives reduced regulation and saddled Fannie and Freddie with thousands of unsustainable loans? Because income for the group they've been loaning to has been stagnant for thirty years, they weren't successful for sixty years?

How about the other times the US has nationalized or created a national industry with federal dollars? Is the Rural Electrification with its hand out? Did the Feds lose their shirt creating Ma Bell to carry to every town, and be interchangeable? Did the feds lose their shirt when they were saddled with what they turned into Conrail?

Do you actually have any suggestions, other than examples of how Republicans make terrible administrators, and Democrats are fine?
