Emails obtained by The Daily Caller show that the U.S. Treasury Department, led by Timothy Geithner, was the driving force behind terminating the pensions of 20,000 salaried retirees at the Delphi auto parts manufacturing company.
The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those retirees were not members of labor unions.

One email dated Thursday, April 2, 2009 shows PBGC staffer Joseph House discussing a meeting he and his colleagues were anticipating with the entire auto bailout team the following day.
House emailed PBGC colleagues Karen Morris and Michael Rae that during the Friday morning meeting, the agenda is everything lead off with Chrysler, then well get into GM/Delphi.
....
But after the Friday meeting, House emailed PBGC staffers Karen Morris and John Menke. Weve been disinvited, he wrote. Its for the best.
Who uninvited us? Morris replied.
Treasury, House responded.

How in the hell can the government cancel the pensions of 20,000 workers in a private business???
And for an arbitrary reason?
I would think they would be pretty damn pissed...
And what about closing the auto dealerships owned by republican donors? It was not because they were not selling cars (they were successful)
WHERE THE G.D.HE!! IS THE MEDIA ON THIS? ARE THEY ALL COMPLICIT???
Are they going to need legislation, or will they just be able to “do it.”
“How in the hell can the government cancel the pensions of 20,000 workers in a private business???

well, komrade, that would be because it is a fascist or socialist or communist government
I doubt if Hitler Stalin Castro Chavez et al worried about preserving pensions when they seized national resources and put their own stooges in charge of the factories
