You actually are not absorbing the losses. Eventually the rate payers (mailers) will pay it all off through postage.

At the moment the USPS is SUBSIDIZING THE US GOVERNMENT through a special tax to pay medical insurance costs for postal employees who aren't even born yet.

$5 billion a year goes into the federal kitty from the money paid by mailers. It won't be touched for 75 years.

No one believes that it won't be touched. It was just a stupid scheme by Olympia Snowe to balance the budget. She's retiring just as her idiocy destroys the postal service in this country.

I think she should be given a ride on a parcel belt!
