> "This is how everyone should accumulate pensions"

Probably. Yet this is the only group that is required to. And they've been required to make up the difference under a very short timeframe. Should every pension fund be given only 10 years to correct the situation?

> "Congress anticipates that the Post Office will, if allowed to do that, report "The Post Office is profitable on its own revenues and receives no support from the federal government" reliably every year until their pension fund implodes with a 13 figure uncovered liability."

And why is the Post Office singled out for this concern? Are other government profit centers treated the same way? Perhaps the Patent Office?

It probably has to do with the number of employees. IIRC, the Post Office is one of the largest employers in the country.
