Just for those who might not realize it - the federal government is bankrupt. If you apply the solvency test: the ability to pay debts when they come due, we do not pass.  The government simply borrows the money - now totaling approx $17 Trillion.

BTW - the USPS has not received federal money since the 1970s. But, it does fall under the purview of the GD Congress, which mandated that the USPS fully fund its retirement health benefits for its employees. (it had been operating under a pay-as-you-go model, like so many other companies) While this may or may not be a sound practice, the point is that the GD Congress didnt require this of anyone else. So the USPS has to come up with with about $8 Billion per year for 10 years.  That's the crux of why the USPS is in financial difficulties.

Really....two wars and estimates with the accrued injuries these wars off budget may cost the American people  4-6 trillion, and the cost of world war 11 for America with lend lease was probably 500 billion.

Now to pay for the same we raised tax rates, where our solution over the last 30 years was to lower tax rates and take war off budget leading to a 17 trillion debt.  We are not bankrupt, just hoodwinked by special interests and their shills who are trying to steal america.
