Just a note from a retired Postal worker: the Post Office is self funding. It is NOT supported by taxes, but by its own sales and postage. I can also tell you from PERSONAL experience that my "pension" consists of a very small government stipend (into which I paid for almost 20 years) and Social Security. The two combined come nowhere near what I earned while employed. It rankles when people who have no direct knowledge present unfounded crud that "everyone knows" as fact. I do NOT get health insurance "paid for" for the rest of my life. NONE of us do. I pay for Medicare (comes out of my Social Security) and I pay for additional insurance (comes out of that small pension). End of rant.
