It’s amazing how much we complain about the post office losing under 2 cents a parcel. It’s the government, it’s SUPPOSED to run in deficit, profitable governments are over taxing.

ROFLOL!!

How about just break-even?

Like that’s ever going to happen. Sure it would be nice, but let’s face it with that many billions of things and billions of dollars running around a budget it’s not going to happen. As it is USPS will be shipping over 190 billion items this year, and lose under 4 billion dollar, or about 1.6 cents an item. It’s only the sheer volume of what they’re doing that that makes the loss so big. If they had FedEx’s volume and maintained their 1.6 cents an item loss it would take them 4 or 5 years to lose enough to buy an F16. But they don’t have FedEx’s volume, they have hundred of times FedEx’s volume.
