The problem with the USPS pension "fund" is that the Congress has done with it what they did with Sociel Security - they spent it and put IOUs in the box. While Republicans spend such too - it wasn't Bush that did it even if it happened on his watch - if he had a full control of the huse and Senate, you might blame him, but the USPS, like all government/union run entities has been terribly inefficient and has priced itself out of business - like Socialism, Unions tend to do more harm than good these days by sucking the lifeblood out of what they infest.

Nice effort. But it was a Bush administration proposal. Voted for him twice. But he was wrong on this as were the Repubs who support it, like Susan Collins. How has the USPS priced itself out of business? Apparently UPS and FEDEX don’t think so as they have USPS deliver many of their packages the “last mile” instead of having their own employees do it at a greater cost to them. Funny watching those UPS and FEDEX trucks backing up to the USPS dock to offload those low profit packages they don’t deliver themselves but the USPS HAS to.
