The pre-funding was removed- finally- after whatever they did pay got sucked into the Iraq War. Congress has been illegally interfering with the independent Postal Service whenever. The Social Security mess started under Reagan and just got fixed. The money sucked in is simply lost, no making it up. Whatever Trump wants from the administration(the political weak point of the public service) he will get. Despite all the sentimental PR ballyhoo we get from the top it can't be trusted. No influence has ever been as disastrous to a well functioning public institution than Trump, but the crazed greed attacks have been constant and unending.
