Change the law ~ USPS is PROHIBITED by law from making a profit.

That doesn't forbid them from taking in more revenue than goes out. The excess must be put back into the operation. Now, if we could only get to that point.

I say, sell 'em to FedEx -- along with Amtrak. Just to p*ss off the unions if nothing else.

No, the law clearly provides that USPS break even. The Postal Rate Commission allows them to charge costs incurred ~ but very carefully.

It's a highly regulated industry owned by the federal government.

They'd been able to make it through the Great Obama Recession except for the $5.8 billion additional charge laid on them to "balance the federal budget" ~ their own budget was balanced but Congress demanded they bail out the federal government.

Sorry, they are not big enough to do that, and then you people put this idiot Obama and his running dog lackeys in the White House and the rest of the economy went in the tank!
