Something I have been trying to figure out all day.... help me please.

I was watching a news show this morning and a news guy said, with a straight face,
 
"The US Post Office is 2.8 billion dollars in the red and will probably run out of money next summer".
 
That just makes no sense at a to me. It has been bugging me all day. Has the news started to use government logic? I don't want to start a poitical discussion, I just want to know if I am missing something because that statement just makes no sense to me. So, if you can.. without getting political... explain how a serious person can make that statement as if it makes sense. Am I missing something? Does it actualy make sense? Am I just stupid?
 
Thanks... it's really been bugging me.

    So, they think the US Post Office will increase their revenue by 2.8 billion dollars by next summer?  If so, then maybe they'll reach 0 and effectively run out of money.

    I think the mistake is in thinking that the person reading the news copy understood any of the words they were reading.  There may have been a glimmer of comprehension on the word, "The", but it probably vanished by the time they finished sounding out "US".

    Right. He was just reading it; the writer is the one who went to creative writing class and probably has a college degree.
    Failed math, though.

    The whole world has gone crazy... I say buy everything you possibly can use and everything you want before it dawns on everyone that the money is worthless. Buy buy buy...

    By December I hope to have a TOTL Studiocat computer and a 24" monitor.
