Post Post Office Post

Felix Simon notes another angle on the Post Office: they don't actually have the power to unilaterally cancel Saturday delivery. Congress has to approve it. But Congress is a mess, so the USPS is just moving forward without their approval.

The idea is both delicious and dangerous: go ahead an implement the plan whether Congress likes it or not. And then dare them to bring down the hammer, or simply capitulate to the inevitable.

I really think the Obama administration ought to follow suit and start executive orders and tell Congress that they can go ahead of overrule them. As Simon says, it's dangerous, and undemocratic, but so is having a non-functioning branch of government.
