To repeat Doug, the USPS effectively is a private company, except the government gets to dictate their prices.


Bitt, I like you, and I enjoy our discussions, but you have managed to convince me that you don't know what you're talking about. The government owns all of the capital property of the USPS. How, exactly, is this a private company? Do you mean it's self-funding? There is an enormous difference between those two things.
