The USPS does borrow money from the US Treasury when the Postal Service runs a deficit. However, the USPS is suppose to break even, so the borrowed money will eventually be paid back through higher postal rates. The USPS actually ran surplusses in the 1990s, however, lately, it has had to raise postal rates almost every year to break even. The government also pays the Postal Service almost $100 million a year to cover government mailing costs.
