You can't really evaluate a public service's accountability based on its balance sheet alone. It's a public service and is there to... provide a service.

In the past USPS has been evaluated as "thing that should make money" which is silly - if it was profitable to run a reliable service in that space the commercial sector would have forced out the government.
