With no taxpayer subsidy, losses hover around 2.3 billion this year, worsened by a downturn and lower mail volume due to the Internet and recession.

Vultures and the economy in an age of government ties
Rich Lowry argues that capitalism is split between government dependent firms, the Obama era public private Chrysler lenders, and non-TARP creditors led by hedge funds. He likens the UAW and major banks like Citigroup and Goldman Sachs to vultures, urging a return of TARP funds and bankruptcy as a purge to widen the liberated economy. He warns that heavy government intervention risks crony capitalism and urges disengagement from struggling, government-backed banks to foster private value and competition.
