For example, The Postal Service has already lost 5.4 billion dollars this fiscal year and has suffered net losses in 14 of the last 16 fiscal quarters. During the same time both UPS and FedEx posted a profit. Publicly provided services almost never outperform private sector businesses.

There is nothing inherently better because of privatization; indeed, because of high management salaries, profits and sales costs, private business will tend to cost more than public business. And it does no good to say that an inefficient private business will go out of business; that would cause endless disruptions in essential public services which are required to operate each day.

Christie is a badass. You should check out this speech (http://blog.heritage.org/2010/06/03/video-of-the-week-nj-gov-chris-christie-on-school-choice/) and also the one from June 24th where he just slams teacher's unions (worth the search, the link I posted is gone now).
