scott brown says he's considering it. that es a pretty high profile invite to turn down. >> bill: she's doing this, i understand, at the edwardy things. >>oh really? >>tax cuts don't create jobs. the golden years as the conservatives call them, we had the highest tax rates, and the highest amount of growth, and the highest amount of jobs. those are facts. >>"if you ever raise taxes on the rich, you're going to destroy our economy." not true! this this. >> they are clearly struggling. and i don't know what that means for us as americans because i have to say, we do the post office and the postal service so well. i hate to break it down to a base level but if you think about you take a piece of paper and put some postage on it drop it in a box and it goes wherever you want it to an alarming success rate. can you imagine any other company having the success rate? how often do you lose mail or a bill get lost or a letter get lost? it rarely happens. it's such a well-run operation that it disturbs me we can't get it to where it's a profital business. it's a great business. what do we do? how do we save it? 866-55 press. 866-557373
