<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1271297, member: 22143&quot;]The postal service does not get tax money.&nbsp;&nbsp; Interestingly enough, the USPS has only existed since 1971, the same year the $ was made fiat, when the service was made an independent agency.&nbsp; &nbsp; Prior to &#039;71, it was the United States Post Offic,&nbsp; a direct department of the government and was funded through the general fund.&nbsp; I&#039;ve noticed that people often don&#039;t have very many kind things to say about the USPS, but when talk of taking it away happens, everyone doesn&#039;t want this to happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>They are between a rock and a hard place.&nbsp; They have to be self funded, but Congress has to approve any changes that allows them to become more efficient.&nbsp; Personally I think they should be allowed to directly sell all the US Mint&#039;s bullion and collector&#039;s coin products.&nbsp;&nbsp; They ought to be allowed to buy them back too.&nbsp;&nbsp; This would threaten the US Treasury/Federal Reserve ponzi however so it will never happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
