“USPS is self-funding through postal fees as far as I know.”
You’re right, and Congress robs the profits.
What can I say, I like USPS. I’ve encountered a few lazy, nasty postal workers, but most of the time, the employees are pleasant and helpful. The key provision in my mind is the understanding that no tax dollars go to supporting USPS.
Congress robs the employee retirement funds first ~ and that’s up to over $78 billion in overpayments by USPS to the government.
