Imagine if they had to pre pay pensions and the VA - they'd be insanely underwater.

Also giving subsidy to ups and fedex for all the unprofitable rural / low density routes to keep it available in rural areas will probably end costing more

I dunno. There are some areas (speaking from experience unfortunately) where UPS and Fedex deliver but USPS doesn't.
