When will we get real reform?

The US Postal Service (USPS) has lost?$92 Billion since 2007. USPS has claimed these losses stem from being forced by law to fund retiree healthcare costs.?It hasn’t made a retiree healthcare payment since 2010 and now has $52 Billion in unfunded liabilities.?In political slight-of-hand, Congress says USPS is not mandated to make these payments.?To quote the Wall Street Journal, “lawmakers want to give permission to quit making payments [it] stopped making a decade ago."? When will we get real reform?

A warning sign for liability insurance:?traffic deaths are up 12%.
