Yes, has anyone an example of a government run business or anything else for that matter that ever turned a profit? I could try to dig up some numbers, but I believe there are (or at least were) a couple of examples of post offices (gvt run administrations in a few countries) that actually are doing reasonably well. --Sylvain |

I believe the context here was the USA so that limits it to the American government. Although, international examples would be interesting to see if they really made money, or made money because they had a monopoly. Most postal services don't have any across the board competition (at least in the USA, last I knew, only the Federal Postal Service could carry letters). Matt |
