“A lot of good people, many military veterans, work for the USPS. And unlike some government entities, this organization performs a Constitutional function and does useful work”

While the above might be true.. A lot of good people and many military veterans work in private industry and make no higher salaries than the postal workers, have no Cadillac health plans, and NO guarantee of not being laid off.
Postal workers ARE NOT more important to the overall economy that anyone else and thus should not be protected from its economic pitfalls.
The Constitutional requirement of the Federal Government to protect the borders is ignored and usurped by it.
So why should we care about any constitutional mandate to deliver mail?
The USPS can either justify its existence by market survival or not.
It apparently can’t.
Eliminate the TAX and they're OK.
