Over at Downsizing Government, we focused on the following issues this week:

• The Department of Homeland Security is a mismanaged mess.
• Federal aid to the states is too popular.
• It’s time to privatize the U.S. Postal Service Monopoly.
• Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood likes to give the gift of other people’s money.  Ho, ho, oh no!
• Charles Krauthammer gets nostalgic about the socialist mail monopolist.
