I just had this conversation with one of my neighbors. The USPS undoing was the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. It was in really good shape, roughly a $17 billion surplus, until that happened. Only our illustrious representation would take the one thing the government had right and purposely wreck it. Pre-fund 75 years of retiree health benefits in 10 years time? That's a great idea. They voted unanimously on it.
