11 Billion default???? United Sates Postal service

Got to love the treasury department?? WTF, I mean Central banks...


With cash running perilously low, two legally required payments for future postal retirees' health benefits — $5.5 billion due TODAY, and another $5.6 billion due in September — will be left unpaid, the mail agency said Monday. Postal officials said they also are studying whether they may need to delay other obligations. In the coming months, a $1.5 billion payment is due to the Labor Department for workers compensation, which for now it expects to make, as well as millions in interest payments to the Treasury.
