  • GM: An Alternative to Bankruptcy [View article]
    Government probably will have to assume pension obligations. Here's the rub: in case of Chapter 11 company can cancel pension plan and government pension fund accepts part of pension obligations. Hard on people, they lose about 50% of their pensions, but reasonable for the government. In proposed scenario, bankruptcy law doesn't apply, so how pension obligations are treated? I don't think gov can (and should) assume pension obligations at 100%. BTW, GM (and Ford, and Chrysler) pension fund is underfunded by billions of dollars.
