Happiness Index plummets for Minorities, Grads and Disabled
Happy Days are Here Again? Nope! Seems Obama's target audience appears to be less happy under his Administration in past two years. Guess one can sell snake oil for so long before people realize the salesman is just quack. ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 1 (UPI) -- Only a third of U.S. adults say they are very happy -- minorities show particularly pronounced declines in the past two years, a U.S. survey indicates.

Is the Post Office the next Government Failure?
For all those who put their trust in a centralized government running everything under the Sun. Looks like the Post Office is going broke. I like my Postman and want to see him six days a week. He brings me my Meds... Time to privatize the USPS, But Democrats always say any type of privatization is a "risky Scheme" . Risky because they don't have their hands all over it. (WASHINGTON) -- It's the biggest civilian employer after Walmart, but apparently the U.S. Postal Service is not "too big to fail." Friday, the Postal Service said that without Congressional action it could be bankrupt by the end of next year. "We will continue our relentless efforts to innovate and improve efficiency.
