Automotive Pension Disaster; $42 Billion in Pension Promises Completely Unfunded


Automotive Pension Disaster; $42 Billion in Pension Promises Completely Unfunded
"The potential for General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC to end their plans has left the PBGC facing the prospect of adding 900,000 current and future beneficiaries. The PBGC, which pays retirement income to almost 44 million Americans, estimates that $77 billion of the automotive industry’s pensions are underfunded, with about $42 billion of that not funded at all."

Doesn't ANYONE understand the ramifications of this disaster that is here now?
