Actually, it doesn't. It only increases the deficit. If they charged the same first-class rate for every piece they handle, instead of giving junk-mail the low low rates, they could probably reduce the prices and still stay in the black.

As usual, corporations are pulling all the strings.

Great point, I totally forgot about that sponsorship!

Right, once the PO is gone, UPS and Fed Ex can charge anything they like. Have fun paying 3.50 to send a check to your dentist, or $50 to send a care package to your kid in college. The USPS takes no tax dollars, and would not be raising rates or having problems if the Republiscum, under Bush, hadn't passed a law that required them to fund 75 years of pension payments in 10 years. It was designed to put them out of business, as it was an insane thing to do. Typical Repukes.

I see you fell for that liberal propaganda circulating about no tax dollars, total BS from liberal snakes who deceive for Obama.

Sorry Mac.Once a dupe, always a dupe. So how's President Romney doing?

"Liberal snakes"? Vicky used that term the other day while advocating Murder charges for 14 year old rape victims. Is that a new term that Rush is using or maybe Ann Coulter? I've not been called that until recently. I doubt Mac and Miss Vicky came up with that independently.

McClown, the USPS does receive taxpayer $, for the purposes of providing postage free mailing to the blind, for mail in ballots, and for its help in providing info to child support agencies. Not sure about the blind thing, but the others make sense. They do NOT recieve tax $ for operating costs. Why don't you EVER just do some simple research before you shoot off your big mouth? You embarrass yourself daily.

I know how it works, proof that you are wrong, and I get the incredible source routine. Anyway, here you go:

Seriously, McClown? Your "source" is a right wing blog? How......scholarly of you. Again, you embarrass yourself. I'm glad I'm not related to you, I would be mortified.

Liberal snake.

Sandra...I keep telling him he is an embarrassment ...but the clown just doesn't get it.

Oh dear, Jack, I'm soooo sorry. How dare a "liberal snake, progressive leftist communist" like me call charming people such as yourself names? Halfwit.

Party of the stupid.

How did the tea party get into this, Walter?

I guess that would mean you as well, Vicky.

Na na na na na an : P ??? So who belongs on the playground ??? LOL
