I'VE BEEN WONDERING WHAT WE COULD DO WITH GOBS OF MONEY FROM THE BANKSTERS & THE TOP 0.1%

I think I've found one good way to use that hypothetical money: save American pension systems.  The AP on Yahoo News has a few details:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Key lawmakers weighed legislation to permit a reduction of benefits for up to 1 million retirees at economically distressed multiemployer pension plans, officials said late Monday as Congress labored over a $1.1 trillion measure to keep the government operating past midnight Thursday.

The officials said the goal of the secretive pension talks was to preserve benefits as much as possible and avert bankruptcies at troubled plans that could in turn endanger the stability of the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.
