You really don't grasp the situation do you. This payment is for expenses USPS might be paying in the far distant future 75 years from now for private health insurance for then retired former employees.

There's not a postal employee on the planet who will ever benefit from a penny of these payments!

It's a total piece of budget trickery and BS.

Your point being, as I understand it, that there isn't a government body nor a corporation that is required to fund pension benefits in advance to the extent the USPS is.

Indeed, if advance funding of this nature was required of anybody else -- by law -- there wouldn't be any pension benefits offered.
