Private carriers are not enough. Not even close. UPS, FedEx, et al - they cannot and will not deliver to many places that the USPS is already set up to deliver to. It's why they all hand off packages to the USPS for the last stretch of delivery in many instances and areas.
I don't understand what they are going on about?? I use USPS almost every day and it is significantly cheaper than Fedx or UPS! I just shipped something for $2.70 through USPS and for that *exact* same package it was $7-8 through fedx or UPS!

The USPS is not required to ‘make money’ although it’s much better if they do. The USPS is written into the constitution.
