The USPS (United States Postal Service) is primarily funded by its own operations, relying on revenues from the sale of postage, products, and services. It's not funded by taxpayer money, unlike most other federal agencies, and is designed to be self-sufficient. However, Congress can provide supplemental funding, as seen in the Postal Service Reform Act of 2022, and the USPS may also receive taxpayer funds during crises, like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Without the “junk mail” they wouldn’t have any money to operate. Who uses snail mail? Most use email and have gone paperless for most things.
It’s sad that we sometimes listen to bad information and believe is the way our world is. Cutting the small federal funds will safe little, but cost us the “taxpayers “ greatly. Very sad the way our world seems too be going.
