Was there no way to repel the laws put in by George w and the GOP requiring the USPS to fund pensions 75 years out? It was written to privatize the the Postal Service, just as Medicare Advantage plans were introduced to eventually privatize Medicare. That's is what they want with everything. Too hand operations of these things to corporations and Wall Street. Think of the fun they could have managing the Social Security trust fund.
