Sylvia Porter Urges Cashing Postal Savings Now
The author explains that about 600,000 Americans hold roughly 90 million dollars in U.S. Postal Savings certificates and urges cashing them before the program ends. Postal savings, once popular in 1921 to draw savings from households into the economy, have become unprofitable versus bank accounts, which are federally insured and offer higher rates.
