SAVE THE POST OFFICE: A Bill to save it is being put forth

Maybe, finally, we'll see a sensible resolution to this GOP-fabricated crisis. Wouldn't that be nice? Ha ha, just kidding! The Republican-controlled house is incapable of doing the right thing -- but that doesn't mean we shouldn't push them:

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) has introduced legislation to try to save the US Postal Service from its incipient bankruptcy, and he is asking for the public to help him pass it.DeFazio’s bill would repeal the needless requirement — one no other business or entity must face — that the Postal Service pre-fund 75 years’ worth of employee health benefits. That requirement has hugely contributed to the USPS defaulting for the first and then second time in its history last year.
Analysis from 2012 estimated that the USPS would have a $1.5 billion surplus without the benefit requirement.
