A perusal of most of my responses to all posters will show that it's my SOP to not quote graemlins.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Good luck getting UPS to deliver your cable bill for $.50
I pay my cable internet (don't have cable) bill online bro. Times need to change. Either the government programs gets into the year 2015 or they go bankrupt like any other private enterprise.
Did you know... The post office wouldn't even be open today if it weren't for junk mail. That's right... Private companies paying post office to send their junk mail is keeping the entire thing afloat. Roughly 80% of all mail sent through USPS is junk mail.
Did you know that the post office is required to operate by law even if it has no paying customers. What you don't seem to understand, is that the USPS offers services at a huge loss because it is mandated to do so.

No, I understand that completely that. Hence, what others said about the force monopoly. If a private sector company were so far in debt that it couldn't pay it's employee benefits and pensions, it would get a government bailout. When the government dose it, it's excusable because it's the law. The solution is obvious. Close these bloated, oversized, overfunded, inefficient branches of the government and let the free market do a better job.
...I know, I know, evil capitalist corporations are incapable of performing the same roles as the government.

Ya, the chief responsibility of the post office is not to maximize profits... It's kinda there for more important reasons...

Let's clarify your statement. They are actually mandated to break even.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dave-johnson/you-should-be-outraged-by_b_2666451.html
However, due to the incompetence of big government and post office management, it's not really possible for them to do so.
While the HuffPo article attempts to blame the Republicans (I know, what a surprise) it fails to mention that the Democrats never did anything about it when they were in control (one of these days perhaps they and their writers will mature a bit). Both major parties deserve a boot up the ass over this.
