A private company wouldn't go to congress if it were 'leaking' $1.3 billion a quarter (sans GM and heck of a lot of banks) and neither should the USPS.

Bailing them out w/o is equivalent to putting new tires on a care with a ceased engine.

They can't do anything to reduce the leak without going to congress to get approval yet you chastise them for going to congress.
