Your ability to spew USPS union talking points is breathtaking. Sure the legislative proposals to fix the USPS are all over the map, but please spare us with the conspiracy theories. Take away the future retiree health benefit payments issue and the USPS is still in big trouble, historic trouble. It's a laugh that supposedly intelligent people say this is a manufactured crisis. The Postal Service's business model needs to be fixed, and serving as a jobs program for hundreds of thousands too many people or serving as the lone business in a dead town with five residents isn't a good business model either. If you don't want USPS to operate as a business, then offer to pay taxes to support it like the "good old days." Don't want to do that? Didn't think so. As far as the rest of government goes, local and otherwise, it seems to make sense to look at prefunding of retiree benefits that either already are or will soon be unsustainable.
