One of the options: repeal or change the law that singles out the USPS and forces it to fund its pension plan to a ridiculous degree. There's something like $75 billion in the pension fund, which is covering the retirement of postal workers who have not been born yet. I don't want to deny retirement benefits to any of my union brothers and sisters but letting USPS tap into some of that money will more than cover the $5.5 billion shortfall.

And fuck the whole "government waste" angle. Corporations waste money, too. That is not the problem with the postal service.
