Is it true that SurePost is going to be eliminated?

No.. You said "The Postal Service receives no direct taxpayer funds.' when in fact they did.

They did this when there was ZERO reason for them to be taking the money.

That was a quote from the tagged article. OK. They received a bailout of tax payer money during COVID like thousands of other companies received.

I replied to the post that seemed to indicate that the USPS is funded with tax payer money. Similar to DHS, Homeland Security, the VA, the DOD.

They are self funded. They needed a bailout. So did the automakers, airlines, banks, etc.

It doesn’t mean they are funded with funded with taxpayer money. They got bailed out with tax payer money

Hey, your goalpost. Move it as you will.

My goalpost never moved. The USPS is not tax payer funded. They are self funded. There is no tax payer money in the Federal budget allocated to the USPS.

They got a one time bailout during COVID, like thousands of companies did, of tax payer money.

If you say they are tax payer funded because of this, OK, you win.

Does that mean the other thousands of companies are also tax payer funded?

Imagine a logistics company needing a bailout during covid. That tells me all I need to know.

They aren't a company

Do you know what that bailout money was for?

But yes, they are poorly run. One reason is that they need Congress approval to raise rates.

I thought you were gone like surepost?

The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA) of 2006 required that the Postal Service “pre-fund'' 100 percent of its retiree health benefit liabilities, 75 years into the future, at a cost of $5.5 billion a year over the first ten years. The USPS now “owes” the government over $35 billion of the unpaid portion of this legal obligation. The draconian pre-funding mandate is a large reason why the Postal Service slowed service and curtailed hours of operation, closed processing plants, increased subcontracting, and severely reduced staffing. It also hurt the Postal Service’s financial ability to upgrade buildings and infrastructure, and purchase a new vehicle fleet.

What taxes does the USPS receive from US taxpayers?

Seriously?

IDK if you're trolling or not. Where do you think the government gets money from?

Apparently, you haven’t been paying attention.

The Government gets money from us, the tax payers.

But, the USPS doesn’t get any of this money. Short of the COVID bailout.

The USPS is self funded by charging for its goods and services.

They aren't a company

They pay federal corporate tax.

Buy gas on route---it was quite common.

Each truck is assigned a gas card in my center, no gas on site. Nice for points at Speedway

USPS is not fully self funded.

Is this also the reason that I am seeing more Amazon?
According to this blog Mail Innovations was increasing rates almost 25%.

Volume used go drop like a rock after Christmas. Gift cards I believe have generated the extra volume the first couple of weeks of Jan. Plus the Sure Post.

Does the United States military make a profit? What about the national park service? Or the DOJ? DOL?
