Summary

This document contains two presentation slides produced by KPCB (Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers) titled 'USA Inc. | Consequences of Inaction'. The slides analyze the financial downfall of General Motors (GM), detailing its balance sheet from 2000-2009 and providing a timeline of key events leading to its 2009 bankruptcy. The document attributes the bankruptcy to uncompetitive products and onerous entitlement spending (pensions). The page bears the Bates stamp 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021057', indicating it is part of a document production for the House Oversight Committee, though no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein appears on this specific page.

General Motors –
Entitlement Spending Became Too Onerous for this Great American Company
1908 – Founded in Flint, Michigan to manufacture automobiles
1954 – Shipped 50 millionth automobile
1988 – Free cash flow peaked at $6.3B
1999 – Reached a peak market capitalization of $61B
2006 – Revenue peaked at $207B
2009 – Filed for bankruptcy
Why did GM file for bankruptcy?
Products became increasingly uncompetitive. In addition, pension plans to support 650,000 retirees and their dependents (compared with 80,000 active employees in N. America as of 2010) rose to 4.8% of GM’s annual expenses and $4,679 in annual pension payments per worker to former workers.
