Personally, I like the idea of USPS banking. Just a basic account, a place where any citizen can legally receive and send e-credits and debits, a debit card for purchasing groceries, yada yada.

Seems like that would *up USPS's coffers* a bit, an expansion of their services, and thus, their bottom line.
