The post office has been operating at a loss for, how long? It's just
like Medicare and Medicaid which are both running in the red.


since when does 'operating at a loss' equal 'doing a bad job'? All three
examples given are tasked with responsibilities that no private corporation
would touch.
Medicare and Medicaid run at a much lower administrative overhead than
private health insurers. The post office delivers stuff at a far lower rate
than a private carrier would charge, if anyone could even be found willing
to deliver tons of bulk mail, not to mention letters and greeting cards,
worldwide. You have no clue about what you discuss, sometimes, Louie.
