Make USPS Great Again? Trump Eyes Privatized U.S. Postal Service

President-elect Donald Trump is stepping up to fix the mess that is the United States Postal Service (USPS). According to a report from the Washington Post, Trump is reportedly considering privatizing this inefficient government-run agency.

Three individuals familiar with the situation have revealed that Trump has been discussing with Howard Lutnick, his pick for Commerce Secretary, about executing an “overhaul” of the USPS. It’s high time we had someone in charge who understands business and efficiency.

While specific details of Trump’s plans for overhauling the Postal Service aren’t “immediately clear,” one source mentioned that Trump met with “a group of transition officials” to seek their advice on “privatizing the agency.” This move could finally bring some much-needed reform and accountability.

As Breitbart News has highlighted, Trump has previously slammed the U.S. Postal Service as “a joke.” He’s absolutely right! The USPS has been a drain on taxpayers for far too long.

Trump suggested that the Postal Service “raise the price” of their packages “by approximately four times” to help themselves get out of debt. Finally, someone is talking sense!

During his first term, a task force created by Trump recommended that the U.S. Postal Service should consider increasing prices for shipping certain packages, according to Axios. It’s about time we stopped subsidizing inefficiency.

“The government is slow, slow, slow — decades slow on adopting new ways of doing things, and there’s a lot of [other] carrier services that became legal in the ’70s that are doing things so much better with increased volumes and reduced costs,” Casey Mulligan, who served as chief economist for the Council of Economic Advisers during Trump’s first term told the Post. “We didn’t finish the job in the first term, but we should finish it now.”
