So - the last decade +, the reported red ink/deficits the USPS has been running have been funded by what? Loans? From who? That money doesn’t just come from nowhere.
They were stated as prospective debts, funded by a timely increase in postal rates and budget adjustments.
I know it is hard to accept, but this is one of those anomalies that actually funded itself until this year, when the raising of rates is unlikely to make up the shortfall. It will be interesting to see if Obama will fund the shortfall.
