The problem is the benefits that the PO has. They’re outsized when compared to private enterprise. They’re already phasing out many carriers and using contractors who have no bennies. But Congress has used the PO as a jobs/welfare program for decades. That’s why they won’t get rid of it. I looked up the number of employees and retires once and it was more than a million...votes.
