Pension Agency Deficit: $10 Billion

Reuters: The U.S. agency that provides a safety net to company pension plans will announce a $10 billion deficit this week, a congressman said on Tuesday, warning that it raised the prospect of a taxpayer bailout. It would be a record deficit for the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC), which a year ago reported its worst year ever and has seen its deficit only grow since then.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
