THE COST OF INSOLVENCY: If a bipartisan congressional supercommittee doesn’t reach consensus on how to fix insolvent multiemployer pension plans--and it’s nowhere close to one now--a default by the Teamsters' Central States Pension Fund could cost 55,000 jobs, drain the Treasury of $1.2 billion in tax revenue, and suck $5 billion out of the GDP, says a new report penned by former House Ways and Means committee economist Alex Brill and sponsored by Protect Our Workers Earned Retirement (POWER!). Without a legislative fix, Central States is projected to go bust within seven years.

Woulda coulda. You're a decade too late, and not living in reality. Ten years ago CSPF had $23 billion. Today, barely $14 billion. Can't beat Math.
