Save Billions
Here's one that will save billions: We bid postal services to the private sector. Let the winning bid, perhaps UPS and/or FedEX, deliver mail to homes. Reduce home deliveries to every other day; MWF or TTS. The entire US Postal Service goes out of business and everyone gets reasonable service.
Mail service used to be bid. My grandfather delivered mail by horseback and Model A in western South Dakota during the depression. This would save a lot of money. Many people would like this - but certainly not postal employees.

I am not so sure about this. Everything that has been privatized so far has turned out to cost a lot more and forced fairly paid people into lower paying jobs. Think how frustrating it was when they privatized the phone company. Back then we had one phone bill. Now I have land line bill, a cell phone, a long distance carrier bill and a bill for my internet connection. What used to cost about $16 a month is now well over $100. Of course, that is partly because I have a cell phone and internet but back then I could make a phone call and reach a real live person instead of an extremely frustrating menu.
