The post office is already running in the red
Why not take a chance on something that could make them money? If it works, the country as a whole benefits, not just the people getting the loans. If it fails, yes, taxpayers would lose money. But considering the $1.5 trillion tax cut, and the huge omnibus bill, do we really care that much about government programs that lose money? The potential upside seems well worth the risk of taking on slightly riskier loans.
The safer decision to help out the post office is to double [or so] the cost of stamps. Is that really a better solution?
