The catch-22 plaguing the US Post Office

In a nutshell, it isn't allowed to compete like a private entity, and it isn't funded adequately by the federal government:  Mandate pushed Postal Service into the red for the first quarter. It has the key burdens of both the free market and the public sector, without the primary benefits of either.

Just for the record, I like the US Postal Service, and I use it regularly -- to send actual letters to people!
