US Treasury now in the business of filing bankruptcy for corporations. Unbelievable what is going on.

The Treasury Department is preparing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing for Chrysler....

I don't like the way that reads.

Chrysler can't prepare their own documents?

Nice that all the union crap is untouched....

I remember back in the olden days, when they were telling us what a disaster it would be for any of the car companies to declare bankruptcy.

How totally useless. The One bails out a PRIVATE company whose owners don't even think it is worth pouring money into.

Uh-Oh!

". . . whose members’ (UAW)pensions and retiree health care benefits would be protected as a condition of the bankruptcy filing, . . .

Looks like another payback by Obama to his union buddies.

Every other company that went bankrupt in recent years had to turn their pensions over to the Pension Benefits Guararanty Corporation (a government function) that gave retirees only a fraction of the benefits they have earned.

It looks like the UAW guys will be able to avoid that thanks to Obama's boys who will give them a runaround to protect their pensions and benefits while everyone else loses theirs.

Exactly how does the bankruptcy law allow a side deal between the US gov (apparently now the owner) and the UAW? Won’t the bankruptcy court ignore any such deal and, you know, apply the law?

The Treasury has an agreement in principle with the United Automobile Workers union, whose members’ pensions and retiree health care benefits would be protected as a condition of the bankruptcy filing

So we kill the golden goose to save the UAW egg.

Unbelievable.

And we let the lenders (capitalists, in a literal sense) die too.

Redistribution of wealth, class warfare, disaster.

The ruling class is using our taxes for hostile takeovers of American businesses. Next target will be Wal-Mart so they can unionize it.

Now we know why the Treasury doesn’t want TARP money back from the banks. It’s needed to finance a hostile takeover of the automobile industry.
