One of the reasons USPS has a hard time staying solvent

Price doesn't reflect service- that's why the PO always has to raise rates- well that and the devaluing of US Federal Reserve Notes - and BTW, BOTH SIDES subscribe to it- and did long before Trump was POTUS- you moron.
Both sides subscribed to stiffing the USPS? That's what the topic is here.
the PO gets stiffed every election time delivering the fucking political bullshit they have to deliver for the assholes running for office....these people take advantage of their franking privilege and yes that includes the assholes in your party too.....they pay next to nothing and some days it costs a lot of OT to get their shit out...
 
The Post Office hasn't been profitable for well over 50 years. Still the best deal for the money though.

You kind of get the feeling this is deliberate on the Trump administration's part. Doing everything they can to hamstring the USPS..Postal Service Stiffed $20 Million Cost of Delivering Trump COVID-19 Mailer
Of course the use of F/B , Twitter and other email abilities havent stiffed the USPS by not having to by those forever stamps that just sit in some drawer some place. Or on-line banking where checks are sent without any paper used.

The USPS is a dinosaur like Amtrak is. Both lose billions of dollars a year in operating expenses and retirements, and gets billions of dollars a year in bail outs from the US tax dollars. So we pay for other peoples retirements so they can live comfortably while many others have to live barely making it paycheck to paycheck...

I disagree.
Deliveries to the door are increasing, not decreasing, and the Post Office is about half the price of FedEx or UPS. It should greatly be expanded.
And so should Amtrak.
Fossil fuels are running out, and trains are by far the most efficient means of transport, right after ships. Planes and trucks won't be able to have enough fossil fuel in a couple decades, and can not run on batteries an be competitive. In fact, if we did high speed rail, we could get people to destinations faster than flying, due to the fact airports have to be far away and flight spaced apart.
and the Post Office is about half the price of FedEx or UPS. It should greatly be expanded.
Then let them do their business on their own and stop giving them our tax dollars to stay open. If they are good as you say, they will remain, if they fail.......So be it.
tell your congress that.....
 
Our Postal service has always been considered a necessary government service and government obligation to the public. Blame our founders for putting it in our Constitution.

Government programs are never supposed to make a profit, but are supposed to be good for society instead.
Would you want public school kindergarten to start charging tuition?

Then why are they charging for stamps and postage for boxes? What if the USPS suddenly started making profit, would it be able to pay down the debt or would cost of postage then go down?

I say we should break up the dept of Education, because private schools would do much better than indoctrination centers for progressive theories.

It was never meant to pay for itself. The Defense Department doesn't pay for itself.
Ah yes, the stupid one chimes in. The military pays for itself by keeping US safe from foreign invasion. Without our military there is no country, but then you hate this country anyway, so that is why you always bitch about those who defend it.

So no debate on the Military and is usefulness in keeping your sorry ass from being enslaved by China?
