GOP Land Grab

2. Privatizing the Postal Service will result in the same thing for vast USPS real estate holdings

now owned by the public. Much of that is in very valuable locations (think large cities and historic PO buildings) and sprawling mail processing plants in locations with valuable access to transportation hubs). Then, the volume - over 35,000 post offices currently. These properties will go to cronies for pennies on the dollar.

They'll also grab the high speed equipment and technology that American stamp purchases paid for, which USPS invested to improve the process for the public. Current OCR capabilty owes much to technology developed by USPS. (USPS even gave us ZIP codes, a major tool in data sortation now basic to commerce and government.)

Plus they destroy 500,000 employees with union representation.

Another GOP grab - land and otherwise!
