Nothing, it is not legal to spend tax dollars on USPS. In reality, it is supported completely by its own sales. It has also become largely detached from government for the past 30 years when the post as Postmaster general was disolved from the presidential cabinet. Economically, it opperates as a private business.

The USPS does borrow money from the US Treasury when the Postal Service runs a deficit. However, the USPS is suppose to break even, so the borrowed money will eventually be paid back through higher postal rates. The USPS actually ran surplusses in the 1990s, however, lately, it has had to raise postal rates almost every year to break even. The government also pays the Postal Service almost $100 million a year to cover government mailing costs.
