That's because Congressional Republicans have legislated that the USPS fund
retirement 75 years in advance.  In other words, they are required to pay for
employees who won't even be *born* for another 10 years!  If the Republicans
find some aspect of government that actually works, they'll find some way to
break it so they can "prove" that government doesn't work.
