Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. running $34 billion deficit

• Washington Post
The federal agency that insures pensions for 43 million Americans saw its deficit swell to $34 billion in the past year, the largest in its 38-year history.

In its annual report released Friday, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. blamed the growing shortfall on its inability to charge private employers adequate premiums for insuring pensions.

What's 34 Billion?  A DROP IN THE BUCKET, compared with the $20+ TRILLION, THAT THE TBTF ("Too-Big-To-Fail") Banks on Wall St. STOLE FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! in the late 2008, "No-Banker-Left-Behind-Bailout".  That Obama signed off on.

Now, if we could just figure out a way to get it back!  THEN, USE IT TO PAY OFF THE $34 BILLION DEFICIT, in the PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORP. !!!
