Costco Wants to Know: Should USPS Be Privatized?

Costco, the discount retailer, is conducting a survey, “Should the U.S. Postal Service be Privatized?” in The Costco Connection. Click here to vote “no” by Feb. 10.

“The United States Postal Service is in deep financial trouble, and some say the only way to turn this around is to privatize it and operate it more like a business,” the survey says. “Others argue that maintaining the Postal Service as a public institution is the only way to make mail service accessible and affordable for everyone in the country. What do you think?”

The article includes a pro-privatization article by Chris Edwards of the CATO Institute and an anti-privatization article written by Katherine McFate, a member of A Grand Alliance to Save Our Public Postal Service.
