And I think we probably all agree he's right.
He's not right though, he's completely wrong: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/...g-fortune/
There is literally a law, passed by Congress, which prevents USPS from sending parcels at a loss.
That's the semantics half of the argument.
The example I gave earlier: If Lebron James signs a 1 year deal for 1 million dollars. Is he losing money with that deal? He's making 1 million dollars, but he could be making 30 million.
I don't think it'd be outlandish to say he'd have lost 29 million by signing that contract. Even though he's making 1 million.

But the phrasing is a political distraction. There's some number with a lot of 0's of value that the Post Office is missing out on, because of a bad deal with Amazon.
