Just wish he would educate himself about the USPS. They are not paid from taxpayer monies, and haven’t been for years. They may be a perceived failure, but they provide univeral service to every household in the US. My parcel delivered today started out FEDEX, but USPS delivered it.

I think that's not quite true. For example, the USPS gets no-interest loans from the treasury, which is the same as if the taxpayers paid the interest charges for normal loans. Also, don't forget that the USPS is exempt from many taxes and fees, which is the same as if the taxpayers paid those fees on behalf of the USPS.
