What is really amazing is that the US government, unlike Europe, expects the post office (and AMTRAK too!) to turn a profit each and every year. Maybe this expalins why a pullman compartment on AMTRAK for a family of three round-trip from New York to LA cost over $3500 ?

That is what they get for asking the government to consider them Performance Based Organizations (PBO's). If they didn't, then maybe they wouldn't be in that mess.
