And you would be right. USPS gets taxpayers money through the sale of service and produces.

The government no longer directly supports the USPS. But indirectly it does, through
given
Code:
money to folks whom have not earn that money and they, in turn, make purchases from USPS. However, that is true for Wal-Mart, McD, etc.

The difference is the government can not "raid" the funds of profit nor pensions of Wal-Mart, McD, etc. while for years Congress has "raided" from the pension plan of the USPS workers.

The military pension is changing too, when my father retired from Marines in 1993 after 20 years of military career so he got fattier pension, however for any service members who retire today will get less money than my father did.

Hardly. He worked a few months during Obama's administration out of many years of USPS service. Rolling7's pension is essentially based on his decades of service prior to Obama.

Yup, or cut the pension or kill the pension because pension isn't secured that you can keep for rest of your life.

In our state, the government cut the pension for retired teachers that force them go back to work due to teacher shortage and the teacher get less money now.

What happen if USPS is failing and your methods don't work?

USPS will close some plants down (transfer employees to other plants) and reduce workforce including management by offering voluntarily early retirement (no lay-off due to union contract) to save money.

USPS will not fail. Nationally, it still delivers magazines to millions of subscribers. Millions of the customers mail parcels via USPS daily. Alot of them still pay their bills by mail because they don't trust internet or don't have internet. Political mails and so on.

Yup, I think the congress has authority to kill the union contract whatever they want, especially if USPS seeking emergency assistance to deal with crisis.

Yup and the absentee ballots are done by USPS too.

Hmmm...not surprised at all.

....nearly 75% of Obamacare costs will fall on the backs of those Americans making less than $120,000 a year.
WSJ Chief Economist: 75% of Obamacare Costs Will Fall on Backs of Those Making Less Than $120K a Year | Conservative News, Views & Books

And Obama promised that no tax increase on those making $200,000 a year or less. O-care is the biggest ever tax punch on the middle class.

That's conservative article so not going trust them. ;)

If Congress kills the union contract, all of you will get no mails for days and days or weeks and weeks. That's not what Congress wants.
 
Obama said that Obamacare was not a tax. And Obama's/WH's lawyers argued in Court that it was a tax..…the Court agreed saying that the mandate is a tax and now the White House administration is saying that it is not a tax, again.

What idiocy.
