Considering that the US Postal Service is supposed to be a shining example of how government works ... and, as such, a model for Obamacare.

It makes me shudder.

USPS costs the folks who pay postage about $70 billion per year. it costs taxpayers Zip except for agencies paying postage just like ordinary citizens.

Department of Education costs about $70 billion per year ~ sometimesmore. It costs taxpayers about $70 billion per year!

The beneficiaries of Education Department pay nothing.

Do you have a problem with that?

Frankly I do. Department of Education should find a non-tax based revenue source or be put out of business. Same with all the other federal agencies that cost taxpayers money to operate them ~ even Department of Defense. That ginormous Navy fleet could certainly bring in some bucks ~ I can think of ways!
