from MSNBC has addressed this issue several times on his show. I believe the govt. steals this money from the p.o. and uses it elsewhere. They couldn't get away with this anywhere else in the govt. I'm guessing they originally were using it to help fund the wars. No one else in the govt. or private sector has to fund their retirees health care 75 years in advance. Health insurance offered through the p.o. is good, but it's not exceptional. Actually the postmaster would like to self insure the employees and take them out of the fed employee health insurance system. Congress refuses to go along with this. They'd lose their cash cow if they let that happen.
