First the republicans pass stuff to make the USPS suffer financially then they complain that the USPS can't afford their finances. It took over 15 YEARS to overturn their financial oppression. The 2006 law requiring the U.S. Postal Service to prefund retiree health benefits for 75 years was passed by a Republican-led Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush. This legislation is known as the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act (PAEA). There is NO OTHER COMPANY that was told that they must finance employees, that they don't even have and are not even be born yet, into the companies future. Now they are complaining that this financially strapped company, that usps, amazon, and other delivery companies use, have to be shut down (WAKE UP PEOPLE)...
