The post office takes no money from the Federal government. It completely pays for itself, plus it is under attack by Republicans. The lame duck Congress of 2006 imposed quite an onerous requirement on the USPS, which if the same requirement were forced on FedEx or UPS, they would scream bloody murder and government over reach.
Republicans actually required the USPS to prefund the retirement accounts of all postal workers, and anticipated future workers who are not even born yet, for the next 75 years.
No other for-profit corporation has had such a crushing regulation imposed on their free business.
If the president wanted to cut regulations to help out the economy, this is the most flagrant job-killing regulation out there.
Drain the swamp. Get rid of the president.
