Aaron M: "It's time for the private sector to completely take over USPS operations and permanently dislodge itself from Uncle Sam's teat."
Mail service is part of the Constitution, emphasis on 'service'. It was never intended to make money or break even in costs.
I recently had to have several batches of legal documents sent to the mainland. The first ones went through the post office priority mail, for about $8 ( don't have the receipt handy for the exact cost ). When the next batch had to go out, the line at the post office was too long for the amount of time I had, so I went to FedEx on my way to the airport. It cost $26+ for the same service.
