There is no subsidy of USPS, and hasn't been for probably longer than you've been alive.

- glhaynes 16y agoMy understanding is that there is not a direct subsidy, but that they aren't taxed like a private organization doing the same task would be. (Of course, they fall under a different regulatory framework as well, and have obligations such as delivering to every mailbox in the US, which other organizations aren't obligated to. So it's certainly not an apples-to-apples comparison, either.)
