Put your money where your mouth is and send that letter, birthday card, or gift card via UPS at $8 each. You might also be able to get your monthly magazines delivered by UPS at a small additional charge of $100/year.
Part of the debate over the profitability of the USPS is the control the Govt has over it. The claim is that Congress does not allow it to be run as a business and perhaps it would be more profitable if Congress got out of the way. On the other hand, perhaps you prefer putting a 60 cent stamp on a letter and dropping it in your mailbox or at the nearby postal station rather than driving to a UPS store and waiting in line to pay $8.
