re: Why is the USPS allowed to continue to operate at a loss each and every year?

I'm sorry, but I'm a 1L at LSU Law and am currently taking Constitutional Law, and I can't let this slide. It's Article 1 Section 8 Clause 7. Sorry I know that's pretty smart arse of me, but I've spent the last 4 months studying the powers granted to Congress by this section and how they've developed over the years. And before anyone asks why congress has been allowed to go so far past their enumerated powers, 5 words: Commerce Clause and Spending Clause
