I know that the postal union always wants to define operating expenses as not including the future and current liability for pensions and retiree health expenses. These are real expenses that should be funded as part of their operating costs. When a Government employee retires, he/she may live 30 or 40 years in retirement and very well could receive benefits during retirement that exceed the total income that they earned while they were working.

And that's what life is all about, folks. It is what it is. I am very happy with the Post Office, they do a great job.
