I said there are some social programs that are necessary. Public schools was an example. My claim is that just because someone accepts benefits from a social program, that doesn't make them a socialist.
awesome. we're in complete agreement, because nobody said it does. What kind of argument are you presenting for why public schools are on the "good" side, and "socialist" is on the other? I think more importantly, if you think that your public entitlements are not socialist, but someone else's are, what kind of definition of "socialist" are you working off of?

How much does it cost the USPS to deliver a letter?
I'm pretty sure that historically the USPS is self sufficient. If they are losing money now, it's because of competition with email.
