Australia Post runs as a commercial business and is self funded... But it's wholly owned by the government. So it runs as a business without government assistance.

From what I understand that's how USPS operates too. It generates enough revenue to be self sufficient and is not receiving any funding from the government.

It receives negative funding from the government. That is, Congress mandates things that would be unachievable for any corporation in an attempt to destroy it.
