Help Save Our Public Postal Service
"First, in 2006 Congress required the USPS to come up with $5.5 billion per year to pre-fund 75 years of retiree costs. The Postal Service has to set aside money now for employees who are not even born yet. Even with this in the way, they also require the Postal Service to at least break even. But unlike businesses, they hamstring what the USPS is allowed to offer the public – because it would have major advantages over private businesses."
