In otherwords the problem isn't that the post office's burden is unfair, the unfair part is that nobody else is forced to properly fund promised benefits.

I actually agree with this, to an extent, but then I'm inherently cautious when it comes to money. As for your other point regarding having to account for workers who haven't joined the roster yet, what's the difference in accounting terms?

Oh.  I could of swore i replied to this.

 

The Post office projections are just a cost ahead of time that they think they'll have to pay.  It basically just exists so congress can use it as a tool to adjust the post office's support.

 

The actual retirement funds for the people they've already hired, require automatic payments that the post office just recently missed.
