That's an art for politicians , so just ignore that

Perhaps privatization will allow the politicians to dip into people's savings with even more impunity. It has long been known that postal savings/takings are a slush fund.

Agree with celtician perfectly. There are a lot more stuff that the Japanese government need to fund and the postal savings is a quick access. Of course, given the near-zero interest rate in Japan, it should make it easy for the privatization movement to achieve even 2-4% growth.
