And yes, folks at USPS work for a living doing something productive.
You, the people on the delivery end, are LEACHES.
There are ways you could be brought to pay for your services but they've always been thwarted by Congress. It could be done though. Then we could talk about who pays what.
“You are woefully uninformed. USPS is already overpaid into the FERS system by $78 billion. The FEHB payment is 5 years in advance.”
The article that I posted in a link directly contradicts your assertion about pensions and health care liabilities. I cannot find any documentation to indicate that the USPS does not have large unfunded liabilities, just like the rest of the federal government. You are just spouting labor cartel propaganda.
Your arrogance in referring to customers (LEACHES) is a new low for labor cartels. Government labor cartels are some of the worst as your comments clearly demonstrate.
The USPS is abmonination, a monster created and maintained by a combination of an ignorant Congress, self serving management, and militant labor cartel. Congress should start over by rationalizing mail delivery requirements, authorizing competition on all services, and eliminating all post retiree health care benefits and pensions (leave 401K with higher contributions). The idea that first class mail service should have a uniform price regardless of distance is ridiculous. All service should be distance sensitive. The combination of rationalized delivery requirements and competition will eventually lead to improved services and economically viable organizations.
