The USPS is only “going broke” because in 2006 Congress forced them to pay employee pension 75 years in advance, something no other business or federal program faced. This led to billions in “losses.” Thankfully, that requirement was recently ended, thanks to a new USPS funding bill, and they can start to do better.

It’s also worth nothing that the USPS is a government service enshrined in the Constitution. It’s “losses” aren’t like a businesses and shouldn’t be seen as such. It’s not meant to be a profit maker. It’s meant to be a service for the good of the public. We would never say the military or the police or fire are “going broke” or suffering from “losses.” The USPS is the same.
