Sell it. Sell the Post Office to private investors. Its real estate alone is over $1 Trillion in value.

A lot of that real estate actually isn't owned by the post office, but leased. Hundred year lease, but still a lease.

not a bad idea because obviously our own government can manage it well enough to keep it in the black. Of course, I bet it will cost more to mail letters and packages from now own. And make sure the "investors" are American...

PO is mandated bythe Constitution. Much of it is already contracted out (packages). Land sell of is also not Constitutionally viable. Most would require to be returned to the states from which it was garnished before any private sector sale was possible.

The resulting economic boom would be incredible. The federal government should own no land except that needed for military, and essential government services. I would also divest our national parks to each state that is willing to control and run them.
