Postmaster General Gary outlines two main benefits of postal savings banks in an interview ahead of the next Congress. He argues they would not injure many, except perhaps grog shops and tobacco stores, and would promote thrift and civic engagement by giving savers a stake in the government paying interest on their money. He concludes these are strong, amplifiable arguments in favor.
