- pitaj 9y agoYou're may be right, but I know for a fact that the federal government just gives them a huge line a credit to borrow from.
- freehunter 9y agoYou know that for a fact? I've never heard that. I'm not disputing it since I've never heard this argument before, but it does fly in the face of the fact that the federal government also demands absolutely massive amounts of money from them: https://www.uspsoig.gov/blog/be-careful-what-you-assume https://www.uspsoig.gov/blog/be-careful-what-you-assume
- MoBattah 9y agoThank you for that absolutely enlightening link. People like to assume all parts of our gov are absolutely worthless. USPS does a good job.
- dredmorbius 9y agoThat's the present situation, largely. It's not always been the case, however, and the USPS was originally and very deliberately structured as a subsidised service, and a cabinet-level office.
