GOP Sen. Cassidy: Post Office Doesn't Need $25 Billion to Deal with COVID, 'A Lot' of Debt Is Pension Liability

On Thursday's broadcast of "CNN Newsroom," Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) stated that the Post Office should be supported as some states choose to increase mail-in voting and he is fine with states making the choice to do mail-in voting, but the Postal Service does not need $25 billion in order to do so. He stated that "A lot of what the Post Office is in arrears about is related to unfunded accrued liability in their pension plans." And "the entirety of that 25 billion is not related to the COVID crisis."
