But putting aside funds to cover future employees who have NOT even been born yet, how is that good fiscal policy, particularly when ONLY a single entity has been burdened with this requirement? If this is such a good idea, why didn't the Republicans include other federal entries, like the Pentagon, of even their own congressional staffs?

And what happens when the 10 years is up and Congress suddenly decides that based on the changes forced onto the Postal Service in the interim that they no longer need that amount of reserved funds for what now would be employees which will NEVER be hired? Do they suddenly 'relieve' them of these now unnecessary funds and allocate them for some new fighter jet program or perhaps to hire another 50,000 border patrol agents?

As a general rule, funding public pensions is bad.

Underfunding worked well for Detroit, Chicago, and Stockton.
