US Postal Service as Default Carrier

FedEx and UPS charge up to 40% surcharge.
As a real life example - to ship a textbook from Georgia to Alaska was $65 with FedEx, but $15 was spent through use of the U.S. Postal Service.

Save Mailing Costs and Help the USPS
I would suggest that we quit spending huge amounts of money to send overnight shipments via Fed Ex or UPS. The amounts we spend for those private companies could be spent using the USPS. Thus we would help the USPS out of their financial situation, and save huge amounts of money.

Spin off Public Enterprises (USPS, Amtrak, etc.)
These entities are guzzlers of federal dollars, yet, they continually are in the red and are not effectively managed. Sell them off to the private sector. Let's have a better, more reliable public transportation system (like European trains) and therefore get more people riding them and off the road (thereby saving gas, reducing pollution, etc.)

Stop giving away Priority Mail supplies
The US Post Office gives away cardboard boxes, stickers, packing tape, and a whole list of other Priority Mail branded supplies. The Government has to pay for these supplies, but gives them away for free. This seems to me like a huge waste of tax payer money.

Leverage US Postal Service – Save Money
Why are we not using the US Postal Service?
Why are we using UPS and FedEx to ship packages, when we have the postal service that is perfectly capable to handle our needs?
Not only will using the US Postal Service save the government money, but I believe that the US Postal Service will do an even better job than their commercial competitors that we are currently using.
