Weve heard about affect of online bill paying as a reason for the Postal Service cutting services. A 2006 law was a poison pill for the Postal Service. Mark . Congress passed postal accountability and enhancement act of 2006. One provision to require the Postal Service pay in advance the post cost of Health Benefits. Sound reasonable. How about years in advance . It put the post office in debt. In 2006 the Postal Service wasnt in debt but making money and handling a record amount of mail but a couple things happened after that. A spokesman explains internet bill paying began cutting into the agencys bred and butter. The Great Recession pushing down revenues further and Congress Passed the act requiring usps to prefund retirey Health Benefits 75 years into the fewer tour and pay it over 10 years. The Postal Service is the only Agency Required to make that health care benefit. No other agency . Every other Agency Required to pay as you go. As this ad accurately depicts payments are about 5 billion a year, Postal Service put 44 billion into account but ran out of dough, went into debt and wont make payments. We thought if this is good business. Sounds a little crazy. I probably wont be comfortable with that. Some reports have tried to make out it was a poisoned pill but two of the three cosponsors were democrat. In that year supporters included postal workers union, National Association of post Masters National rural letter carriers association. Waxman saying the service would be worse off without it but added this. Congress should strengthen the Postal Service and put it on a long term path to sustainibility. Representative mike honda saying they should be charged to be in line with other agencies.
