The USPS by law has to be profitable. It is not funded by taxes. (Although when there is a budget shortfall the government helps pay its bills.)

- solutionyogi 17y agoLaw does not make reality. If it did, Obama can tomorrow sign a law saying that Government will reduce spending by 50% while providing more services. Obviously, the real life(TM) will safely ignore the law. And I don't see a difference between whether USPS is directly funded by taxpayer dollars OR taxpayer are on the hook for unpaid USPS bills.
