Read on about the US Postal service and you will find that it is an over bloated arm of the US government,set up by Congess as a result of a constitutional mandate, its recognized as having a legal monopoly over first class and standard mail , has a billion + dollar line of credit with the government,pays itself any income taxes it would otherwise owe , pays no local income nor property taxes, and the list goes on. To say that taxpayer funds didnt end up in Lances hands one way or the other, either thru loans, tax breaks , subsidies or by way of US Congress granted monopoly over first class mail is quite a stretch .
