Wall Street Killed Twinkies – Not the Unions

Over-Leveraged Acquisitions, Mergers, and Bad Wall Street Investments Killed Twinkies – Not the Unions. Another Death by a Hedge fund.

If it wasn’t obvious after the Wisconsin tirade of union abuse that big business wants to bust all unions – it certainly should be now.  Looking at any company’s or municipality’s financial debacle you will usually find a link to bad Wall Street advice or investments. This is certainly true for Hostess Brands.

Founded in 1930 by Ralph L. Nafziger, the sad story of the demise of Hostess Brands, formerly known as Interstate Bakeries Corporation, and its bankruptcies stem from more recent bad management and investment decisions which created the loss of its employee pension funds – a problem that our government fails miserably to protect and properly regulate.

They are angry that they are being forced to live through the worst recession in our lifetimes — with sky-high unemployment, with millions of people losing their homes and their life savings. They are angry that they will not have a decent retirement, that they can’t afford to send their children to college, that they can’t afford health insurance and that, in some cases, they can’t even buy the food they need to adequately feed their families.

They are angry because they know that this recession was not caused by the middle class and working families of this country. It was not caused by the teachers, firefighters and police officers and their unions who are under attack all over the country. It was not caused by construction workers, factory workers, nurses or childcare workers.

This recession was caused by the greed, recklessness, and illegal behavior on Wall Street. And, what makes people furious is that Wall Street still has not learned its lessons. Continue reading →
