No one is bragging about the Postal Service, but nobody complains about socialism when they get their mail everyday or send a letter for 50 cents when the same service would cost $7 from a private firm.
As for debt, as recent as 2005 the USPS was in the black. They have suffered financial problems recently just like all businesses have. But the fact that they have run without debts shows that a government run system CAN work and provide low cost, effective service while still allowing private firms to continue doing business and giving customers a choice.
