Did John Roberts Give Mitt Romney A Gift?

Both work fine where I live, too.
But I'm going to take wobblysow's comment as an opportunity to demonstrate just how politicians create such beliefs in minds like his. It's what lawyers do when preparing a case for trial. They try to get something in the record which they can spin later for the jury.
Let's look at what Republicans did to the US Postal Service, which is a successful institution.
What's causing the bankruptcy is legislation passed by the 109th Congress in 2006 that requires it to write a check ($5.5 biliion) from its operating funds every September 30th to the US Treasury to fully pre-funding future retirees’ health benefits ("future retirees" = people who haven’t even been born yet, let alone working for the US Postal Service). For 75 years.
Nobody, no government agency or person, has had to do that.
This was a manufactured crisis, done to destroy the USPS and give a windfall to the insurance and banking industries.
