Jeez, man, you’re ALMOST there… Ask yourself, why is an entity that makes $600 BILLION more than it uses showing a negative balance? Why?
… If you’d ask that, rather than doing the “free market is the greatest” bullshit, you might actually go look, and learn that the USPS is required to prefund the retirements of all its employees for 75 years, and before that requirement was put into law in 2006, the USPS made money hand over fist every year…
In other words, the fucking Post Office has been losing money for the last decade due to a requirement that NO PRIVATE BUSINESS has ever been asked to fulfill, and this requirement was placed in SPECIFICALLY to make sure that the Post Office showed a net negative gain every year. Who wanted the USPS to appear to lose money? Why, the Republican Party, so they can make the same damned bullshit arguments you’re making here…
