Reforming the USPS
Cato Institute
Rayburn House office building B-369
Noon
The U.S. Postal Service has lost more than $50 billion since 2007 as mail volume has plummeted. House and Senate committees are working on legislation to stem the losses, and a stamp price hike is in the mix. Meanwhile, many European nations have reinvigorated their postal systems by privatizing them and opening them to competition.
What challenges does the USPS face, and what changes are being considered by Congress? Should the USPS be moved to the private sector, and should entrepreneurs be allowed to compete?
Join our distinguished panel of experts—James Gattuso, Senior Research Fellow, Heritage Foundation; Kevin Kosar, Senior Fellow, R Street Institute; and Chris Edwards, Editor, DownsizingGovernment.org, Cato Institute; and Peter Russo, Director of Congressional Affairs, Cato Institute—to hear about the postal deficit crisis and ideas for major reforms.

If you can’t make it to the event, you can watch it live online atwww.cato.org/live and join the conversation on Twitter using #CatoEvents. Follow @CatoEvents on Twitter to get future event updates, live streams, and videos from the Cato Institute.
How about squeeze them dry of information, and then a double tap to the back of the head?
How many people who have thought about killing their mother-in-law have actually done it?
If we are going to allow these types of students into our country; the number should be greatly reduced to the number we can effectively follow and monitor.
Otherwise, how does allowing these students in justify the cost of 9/11, the Boston marathon, and what else?
You lost all credibility there. The US is not even in the top 10 free nations anymore. There are many more nations that are more free than we are. If they “hate us for our freedom”, then why aren’t these other countries being attacked at least AS OFTEN as we are?
Any way you measure it, we are much less free than we were when Obama took office. We have been losing our freedom since before FDR.
Surpressing religion when Islam is everywhere is still not the right thing to do. But I can sympathize with denying Islam to flourish.
We didn’t like Russia going into Afghanistan but now I understand. We went into Afghanistan and now I think we are the same.
At least Bill Ayers was trying to stop an unjustified war against the innocent people of southeast Asia.
Given your interest in cost-benefit analysis, Dan, why don’t you compare the relatively trivial actions of Ayers and his colleagues against the tens of thousands of Americans who died in Indochina?
And They Work For Obama.

Anybody feel safer now that these folks are helping influence U.S. policy??? and we wonder how Boston could have happened?
We coddle and baby them while they are attacking killing us, American Citizens.
What’s happening with the Ft. Hood killer?
The Muslim leader, Muhammad, rode a horse and swung a sword killing the infidels.
Jesus rode a donkey gave love and peace to non-believers.
I am on the side of individual rights
Samuel
I really think that is the only way.
It’s hard to build overseas what we have been unable to maintain at home.
Blowing things up, killing many, and leaving them free to elect the muslim Brotherhood as their new government (after we rebuild their country on our dime and update their infrastructure for them) is either a psychotic attempt at humanitarianism, or the worst military plan in all of history.
Our goal is to remain free. Their goal is to terrorize us and force us to lose freedom.
Our response should be to protect our freedom and refuse to be terrorized. We should not give these men the glorification of evil geniuses or leaders in a war. They should be seen as what they are, not frightening, dangerous and evil, but as stupid, foolish and wrong. Government monitoring of mosques and planning domestic drone attacks simply plays into their hands. We must maintain our freedoms. Ridicule is our most appropriate and effective weapon.
Why didn’t someone put a bloodhound on the trail of the second shooter immediately? (Indeed, why did he escape in the first place?)
And why didn’t police hold their fire when they had the suspect trapped in a boat? (In the event, they shot him in the throat, making talking impossible.)
I watched the female member of the mosque that Tamberlan attended say he did not become radicalized there. She sounded so sincere and her words seemed heartfelt to all the world.
But I know she is lying and I know that mosque contributed to Tamberlan’s ideology.
P.S. It is substantially more than 1%.
Waging a war on Islam would mean the genocide of about a billion people. It’s not a government job, it’s a religious one. Pull the armies out, and send the missionarries in.
War does not equal genocide. KKK is not bombing muslims in foreign countries.
AND, God’s army will destroy all his enemies.
Why look across the seas for them? We have a ready supply right here in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, LA, Stockton, Newark, Camden, Gary, St. Louis, Miami… et al.
But libertarians don’t believe in compassionate government, so we’ll never be able to address poverty, exclusion, and other societal problems that make people susceptible to terrorist ideologies.
Please tell me where the compassion is in government intrusion?
Yup! I’m from the government and I’m here to help…..
-Yes, but that doesn’t mean:
1) We need to have 800+ bases in 120+ nations around the world & be a self appointed “policemen of the world” at our expense
2) We need to invade nations
3) It’s OK to use drone strikes that often kill more innocent bystanders than terrorists
4) We all have to live in a Police State where we are all basically guilty until proven innocent, no search warrants are needed & the state has the power to ignored our God given, Constitutionally protected rights
5) The President can indefinitely jail, or ordered killed people based on suspicion only without a trial
Wake up to reality in Police State USA today, Mr. Mitchell!
