Can you picture yourself as a retiree with no pension?
With the US government handing out $$$ like candy, it is highly unlikely they won't come to GM's aid.

A retiree without their GM pension big difference there, they would still get whatever state / federal pension they would otherwise be entitled to.
Not to say that the loss of the GM pension income wouldn't be devestating to the economy as a whole, because it will be.
