Been to the Post Office Lately?

As Congress debates taking over the healthcare sector of the economy and imposing the largest regulatory scheme ever on the vast energy sector, the Post Office is experiencing a shortage of small denomination stamps. Yes, knowing that there would be a surge in demand for 2 cent stamps after they raised the postage rate from 42 cents to 44 cents, the USPS still couldn't get enough 2 cent stamps out there to meet needs. (And they don't put up notices, so you have to wait in line, in many cases up to 20 minutes, to learn that they have no stamps). That's OK, you can just buy double the 1 cent stamps, right? Wrong. Out of those too. And three cent stamps. Maybe there are some in the vending machines? Whoops. I went to three different post offices before I just gave up and bought 4 cent stamps.

Government incompetence is all around us everyday and yet we've still voted to give these bozos more control of our lives. Enjoy your universal healthcare and the delights of cap-and-trade America!
