The Postal Service has suspended its payments to FERS (Federal Employees Retirement System), and is expected to default on a $5.5 billion payment due to the Treasury on Sept. 30 to pre-fund health benefits for future retirees. By July 2012, the Postal Service may not have enough cash on hand to make payroll.These folks get paid very, very well, and only have to work 20 years to collect full benefits. It's about time someone reigned them in. It's a scam. The taxpayers are getting fleeced.

I appreciate your comments, but not true. Postal workers do not collect full benefits after 20 years. Also, the benefits they do collect are paid for in part by biweekly deductions from their pay, not tax dollars. Workers are paid through postal sales and the only way the taxpayer contributes is if they use the services.
