Default USPS.. and the Dems want government single-payer healthcare

How can anyone possibly want federal government-run healthcare, with tens of thousands more unionized public bureaucrats demanding benefits like the postal service has??

"The U.S. Postal Service suffered a net loss of $5.1 billion for fiscal 2011, a figure that would have been far higher if Congress had not delayed a retiree health care payment originally due on the final day of the fiscal year in September, according to financial results released Tuesday.......

...USPS leaders have said they lack the money to cover that obligation whenever it comes due. While the deferral had the effect of improving the Postal Service's 2011 results, Corbett said, "we still face the same financial stress."
