It is a waste of taxpayer money to bailout Detroit's Big Three auto companies. These companies have been in secular decline for at least two generations. Their automobiles have been less fuel efficient, of lower quality, less inspiring and more expensive than the automobiles of foreign-owned competitors. Back in the 1980s, the government bailed out Chrysler. Now Chrysler, accompanied by GM and Ford, is back at the public trough. iPublic bailouts of failing com- panies only postpone the inevitable demise of these companies. Let the creative destructive force of this recession euthanize an inefficient group of companies by forcing them to reorganize or go out of business. Since the federal government is debating the size and form of a bailout, let us examine the rationale for a public bai...

Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP. After considering corporat...

Pension agency braces for increasing deficit WASHINGTON -- The deepening recession spells trouble for a little-known government corporation that insures the pensions of 44 million workers and retirees. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. already has an $11 billion deficit that seems sure to grow larger as America suffers through the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. With companies reporting shortfalls in their pension funds, it's all but certain that the PBGC will be forced to take over the pension plans of a rising number of bankrupt businesses. That means more red ink at the corporation before things possibly can improve. The future financial health of the agency is hard to forecast. It is hinged on interest rates, the length of the recession and the PBGC's own luck in...

Don't say that we didn't warn that the billions of dollars in bailout money that the feds targeted to two failing automakers would end up being money down a rat hole. A new U.S. Government Accountability Office report released last month provided an analysis of the government-driven restructuring efforts of the auto industry. USA Today quoted a transportation analyst who looked deeply into the report and highlighted these significant GAO conclusions: "The Treasury Department tried to find assets for securing collateral from the automakers in return for the $22.9 billion in loans they have already received, but was hamstrung because many other creditors had already staked out the turf. The government could be on the hook for billions more if Chrysler or GM liquidates. That's because the ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) today issued the following statement after President Bush signed into law the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (H.R. 4). Our nation's pension laws have been outdated and broken, placing the retirement savings of millions of Americans at risk. Today the president signed into law the most comprehensive reform of our pension system in more than a generation. It shores up the health of the traditional defined benefit pension system as well as the multi- employer system. We make companies put their money behind their promises and give employees good information and investment advice on their individual plans.
