What part of - if you give employee bigger benefits than you can afford - don't they get. Private business 'get's it' before it even happens - they project and take steps before hand. USPS has a gov't mindset - through and through. Now after the agency lost $16 billion in fiscal year 2012 they feel entitled.

USPS gets revenue from commercial sales, not taxation.
USPS is not immune to the entitlement mindset that plagues many large corporations such as GM.
Many large ‘private’ corporations don’t “get it”. They are often politically correct and benefit from taxpayer bailouts, funding, and regulations.

The USPS is broke because, by law, they have to pre-fund retirees healthcare benefits, and as it stands all current employees are covered, plus an extra 7 billion bucks. Hell, that covers letter carriers that ain’t even born. Just sayin’.
