I made some quip about the post office going broke to my uber-liberal sister. She said “that’s because the Post Office is private.” I didn’t say anything back - what can you say? But then I got to thinking what makes her think things like that?

On the interwebs people claim that it is “semi-private” or something because it does not get any general tax money from the government. It is “supported” by the revenues on stamps and shipping.

I even doubt that. How can you run at a $5-billion loss? Does it get interest-free “loans” from the the government?
