You don't think it is unfair to legislate that $50 to $85 billion dollars all of a sudden becomes the burden of the postal employees? I do.

Looking through the GAO report I found this: "Note: Other statutes, not relevant to the present questions, also have been passed amending USPS's CSRS responsibilities. [A] In 2006, Congress established a 10-year schedule of USPS payments into a fund (the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund) that averaged $5.6 billion per year through fiscal year 2016. Starting in fiscal year 2017, USPS's share of the health benefits premiums for current and future retirees will be paid from this fund and USPS will also fund the actuarially determined normal cost plus an amortization of any unfunded liability. Pub. L. No. 109-435, ? 803(a), 120 Stat. 3198, 3251. " What you are talking about in the GAO report is a separate issue from the poison pill mandates required by congress in 2006. gao.gov
