Viewpoint: U.S. Shouldn’t Privatize Post Office Just Yet

If the United States were to privatize the postal service like Britain has done, the government would first have to invest billions of dollars into making the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) appear as a viable, competitive business.

The Postal Service is extremely popular among American citizens, and any cuts perceived as overly drastic will not go over well. Royal Mail’s privatization will be a model worth watching, but the United States shouldn’t get any ideas too soon.
