During the government shutdown it is important to notice that the fine men and women of the United States Postal Service are hard at work, stoking the nation’s economy. It is a good reminder that for almost 50 years the Postal Service has not received any taxpayer moneys to run their business. Every penny is raised by selling their products.
This should end any argument that it is a drain on the government’s pocketbook and needs to be privatized.
