they said we would like to keep the pension plan. they negotiated an agreement with the company in which they preserve the hourly plan which covered about 40% of the employees. we then went to the company said there is a problem. even if we take on the remaining plants, there's some pension benefit because we legally have a limit to the amount of tensions between cover. so what we did this work for the company as part of the bankruptcy, part of the reorganization to set aside a pool of money so those salaried employees for home the pbgc pension would be compensated by the top of ip so i think that's part of our mission. it's our job. obviously we need to be a safety net, but it's her job to preserve plants and retirement security. one of the nice things about being director is i get to steal credit from an amazingly talented group of public servants who understand enough about business to figure out when to stop asking for the impossible and start dealing with what's real. >> the panel will have after this is going to focus on multie

the pension question is something that comes up. the cost of our pension liability will cost the city, especially because of our investments in the market have come down since 2008. we are spending more of our general fund to pay our pension costs. that is a big challenge. it is a long-term problem, but it also has short-term implications. we know right away we are not going to have the enough money as we need to cover our services and pension costs as well. i support efforts to figure out short-term solutions around contributions that workers can make. it is important to work collaborative way, as much as possible with labor, organizations, to come up with solutions. we have to figure out, jobs are at stake. we have to cut positions, services. if we do not resolve the pension issue, we will have to cut services in a way that will be harmful to san franciscans. fewer options for muni, parks deteriorating, less investment in public infrastructure, if we cannot resolve these issues. the tide is rising. we need to figure out how to swi

their needs and necessities early on that not only are they going to have wages but a health plan and pension for years to come. when you have hotel workers, working class people who can take care of their family and themselves and have contributed in the workplace contributed to the quality of the whole city and affects other industries as well. i know that being the mayor of the city for two years. i know with repercussions that this agreement has with other hotels and other industries that want to be successful in the city. you have to treat your workers with the highest quality their deserve and when they are happy, we are all happy and i'm happy. that's the goal of being in san francisco is that you have to have a happy work force, you have to have them looking that they don't have doubt and they are taking care of their families and taking care of visitors. this hotel is the largest hotel in san francisco, 1900 rooms and we are going to use them up is as much as we can when we invite organizations like the warriors to come or america's cup or the super bowl bid that we are putting toget

now, companies skillfully working their way through the bankruptcy system to avoid pension obligations happens quite a bit. this is what's particularly egregious about the situation. patriot coal was a company created by the larger peabody energy in 2007. patriot was spun off from peabody, taking a whole lot of peabody's liabilities but only a smidgeon of its assets. the move was best summarized by temple university professor bruce raider in a paper called "designed to fail, the case of patriot coal." he said patriot coal was created just to go bankrupt. at the time, peabody's cfo happily announced, hey look, our health care liability and related expenses will be reduced by 40%. in total, our legacy liabilities, expenses and cash flow will nearly be cut in half. we now know at whose expense that comes. joining me tonight, senator joe manchin, democrat from west virginia. senator, thank you for joining us. you had strong words about this yesterday. what is your reaction to the judge's ruling on this? >> again, chris, you said it perfectly. it's a travesty. that's exactly how i believe a

one of the constant themes pension law, pension management allows one of years has been when there's a problem, the first person to protect is the retirees. and that's clear in the allocation scheme in pbgc. it's clear, if you look at plans going back to the late 19th century or early 20th century which made provisions for retirees to pay benefits before anyone else. and our concern, again, the commission was made up of unions. it was made up of employer groups. it was, it spoke to experts, but pension the right system was a part of the commission and our concern is protecting, protecting retirees in the process. we are providing better protection in the process. the commission's recommendations with the trustees are going to be asked to do is make determinations. there are multiple factors of the trustees to consider. i teach law students, i don't think any of my law students would have a problem drafting a report that had almost any conceivable effect on retirees as being the only way out. and pbgc is not permitted to change those recommendations unless there is clear and compellin

consumer debt, employer-based pensions disappearing. people in the 20s, 30s and 40s today will rely more than ever as social security and this is why there is a certain man of craziness and washing and they would consider cutting this thing, which is only going to become more vital. one of the things i want to stress here is the need for younger workers and younger people to become more aware of what's going on the social security because they are the ones most at risk here. >> and we've heard the famous ufo factoid. more people believe they will be visited by ufos and will collect social security. i think that is something definitely up there in the media. you're skeptical of that and that's part of the basis of people saying we should use some money in private accounts. >> outplayed the story really quick. it was in a pool that frank luntz a republican pollster put together for a group called the millennia, which is an astroturf young people passionate about cutting the deficit group put out in the mid-90s. what they did is they ask,

the imhouse approved a comprehensive pension reform plan. this is a big deal because for the first time the legislation requires employees of the state to contribute 2% or more of their earnings to their pension. in other words, they have to kick in for their pension costs. that is pretty commonsensical in the private world. it is still a bit of an alien concept in the public world but that could be a watershed development. just something in the illinois house and has to make its way through the system there. but that could be a very big deal. now look at this. >> these people were from, i understand, kazakhstan. maybe it's part of immigration, overall immigration reform, we should look at the process of who is allowed into this country, under what circumstances, what is their situation and background? particularly from countries that have histories such as dagestan and chechneya where there's been significant influence of radical islamic extremism. >> neil: did john mccain say he was for profiling? wayne simmons says, not so crazy at all. w
