Goal:  To save the US Postal Service & To provide competition in US Banking and Financial Affairs

Solution: A financially viable means by which to save the US Postal service through the added provision of community banking services. It simply means creating attractive and affordable financial products to compete in the open market via thousands of existing US Post offices. In other words ‘A Financial Public Option’.

Excerpt from ‘Truthout’

” Neither rain nor sleet nor snow may have stopped the Pony Express, but the nation’s oldest and second-largest employer is now under attack.

But the “crisis” is an artificial one, created by Congress itself.
