Re: You pay for junk mail
I've always had the impression that the USPS was one of the better run government agencies.
I believe they've gotten a few appropriations for things such as security, but for the most part, they've been self-sufficient for about twenty years now, their expenses covered by the cost of postage and other direct costs.
Taxpayer money goes to subsidies for private companies in exchange for providing what are seen as unprofitable services all the time. How are appropriations for the USPS any different?
