wait a minute you are the one that said if they didnt take tax dollars they would be loosing money....now you are saying thats common knowledge they do?...which is it?....and that article did not say they take tax dollars for decades like you said,,,it didnt even say they take taxes to run....and the PO makes more money then what a clueless fu-cker like you would know......Hey Idiot, it is common knowledge the USPS has operated in the RED for ages, losing the US Gov billions of dollars, so how the hell do you think they stay open if they cannot finance themselves off of sales of stamps and things?
Do you think the USPS stays open on people's good charity?
Why do you think Trump wants to privatize it but to make the thing PROFITABLE so it doesn't LOSE MONEY?
By losing money, automatically, the Fed must make up the difference via subsidized funds to keep the place open because where else do you think the money comes from to make payrolls???
There is no other choice, Honey.

The only money the USPS receives from the government is a small annual appropriation—typically around 50 million—which Congress provides to compensate the agency for providing free mailing privileges for the blind and overseas voters.
