I was going to post that the constitution requires the federal government to provide postal services. Actually, it does not. Close it. Or at the very least zero out its advertizing budget.

The post office is self-sustaining. They have to advertise. Otherwise the millions of non-english speaking people in this country would never know of it’s existence. At least, that they could use it to send stuff and not just receive.

Bingo! It authorizes Congress to create a Post Office, but does not require it.
