It wasn't OK to require the Postal Service to prefund their pension plan to that extent to begin with.
No other federal pension plan was required to be prefunded to that extent. Republicans did it in 2006 precisely because they knew it would make the P.S. look bad and would balloon their pension plan. Which in turn would bolster their plans to privatize it and the pension plan would be a very ripe cherry for any raider to raid a few years after getting control of it.
