Set the price correctly, and someone will do it. Maybe even someone without a subsidy.

I believe it was during the first Iraq war the last time the USPS requested the allocated subsidy they get for operating unprofitable post offices.. In either case, it's been nearly 15 years since taxpayers footed any part of the bill, other than the already mentioned lack of property or income taxes. Then again, it is federal land, and I'm sure that the chunks of property escalate in value faster than tax revenues would pay, so even then, we're getting it cheap.

The USPS don't tag their delivery vehicles. I wonder what that costs UPS on a per-year basis?
