It’s a headfake, otherwise known as a steaming pile. USPS has to prefund it’s pensions and health care out to 75 years in the future, otherwise it would be showing a $2billion profit. Can’t make a profit, so the money must be shoved into a hole somewhere. USPS will NOT shut down this winter, bank on it.
Good point! And the hole it is being pushed in to is probably being used to fund other government programs.....like SS, etc.
