That funding requirement is being repealed, and the Post Office is getting a relief package of $50 billion. But, they are still deeply in debt and getting deeper. See link.

But, none of that has anything to do with the "operating expense" deception. The Post Office promotes an untruth that they are not a burden on the taxpayer. They want people to ignore the enormous cost of retiree pensions and health care, which they don't want to count in their operating expenses. But, that is why every GAO audit reports that the Post Office loses money.
