In 06, a republican lame duck Congress dictated the Post Office PRE-FUND healthcare seventy five years in advance, covering employees not even born yet, an obligation faced by no other group... And fund it in just ten years, at a cost over 5 billion a year! Remove this imposed burden and the Post Office is fine; essential, efficient and profitable.
To fix this conjured crisis, a Democratic bill with over 220 co-sponsors HR 1351 would move money from existing pension over payments to pre payments. Darell Issa's bill, with 2 co-sponsors, would cut jobs and wages, close post offices, and abolish benefits.
