Bankruptcy law is specific in the way scarce funds are to be allocated. Until the Obama administration set its precedent for the Chrysler bankruptcy, giving the unions favored status for its own political solution for what ordinarily would have been business contract law.
Most of the general media failed to adequately mark this American turning point.
Creditors always have legitimate claims over a bankrupt’s assets. But not all claims are equal when dividing assets.
Some lenders may have provided cheaper funds in return for a more secure claim over assets, Therefore, they rank above others, when funds are allocated among creditors. Then there are employees and stockholders to consider when disbursing funds in bankruptcy. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
