Leaving aside that the USPS is not a Federal Agency....

Efficiently and profitably are not synonymous. The US military *could* be run efficiently, for example, but we should never want it to be profitable. Frequently, if a business is profitable then there is less concern over whether it is efficient.

We should all want the Federal Agencies to be reasonably efficient but there are few that have any means to turn a profit.
