Don't blame the Post Office. Blame yourself.

So financial prudence is a crippling burden?

Yes, like higher capital ratios.

Yes, like higher capital ratios.

But higher capital ratios are now required. So why not the funding of future health care benefits.

The Post Office largely just distributes junk mail. Try to get that out of your life and see where you go: to a private sector thingy that charges you for the privilege of trying to cut back on the waste of good trees... not sure if it's effective or not...

I have seen no convincing arguments put forth that we should not fund future health care obligations and just put them off till whenever. The notion that other people aren't doing it is not a convincing argument.

That's not what anyone is talking about here. You don't understand.

You don' really understand anything about the U.S. Postal Service, do you? Why it is structured as it is. In what ways Congress interferes with its operation, etc. What constraints it is forced to operate under.
