>The reason the post office has problems is they are required to serve everyone. FedEx makes money because they can cater to only those who are willing to pay extra for extra service. If FedEx were required to deliver packages for everyone in the country for a relative pittance they would have problems, too.

That's the point! The "pittance" charged is dictated not by the market but by politicians, as a result the USPS is bankrupt every year. The private sector would do a better job, but they are price-fixed out of the market.
