The USPS isn't "losing" money. It's SPENDING money. It is not a business, it isn't designed to turn a profit. It is an EXPENSE. Just like the military is an expense. Do you think we should see some profit from the CIA? The Army? How about the IRS? Would you be okay if the IRS charged a fee for the privilege of filing your taxes, so that it can be a profitable organization? How about the FTC, the FAA - maybe the FAA should tack on an extra $100 fee per use for people flying aircraft, so that it can turn a profit.
Do you see how insane and ridiculous that sounds? That's how the rhetoric and hyperbole and strawman arguments about the USPS "losing" money sounds to me.
