It is FAR more convenient to use USPS than UPS and while I once encountered a line at USPS I don't believe I have ever NOT encountered a line at UPS. So I guess, yes, that is what I am claiming.

The $9.5B is part of the debate. If the USPS was ALLOWED to run as a business and not burdened by Congressional mandates then it might not have the $9.5B loss.
