ERISA

(U.S. GOVERNMENT) Employee Retirement Income Security Act (1974); federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established pension and health plans in private industry to provide protection for individuals in these plans.

Very important law was supposed to ensure that employer pension plans were (a) managed by qualified, ethical people, and (b) those people did not take excessive risks with the funds paid into the pensions.

ERISA was subsequently weakened by a Department of Labor ruling in 1978 that allowed pension fund managers to invest in riskier types of portfolios. At the same time this occurred, financial managers were stuck with negative real interest rates, and high inflation. So there was an urgent need for financial vehicles with high yield.

As a result, pension fund money flowed into the new hedge funds and junk bonds.

Another major change to ERISA was the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA-1986) allows workers recently unemployed from a job to keep their group health insurance coverage for a limited period of time.

ERISA regulations for vesting pension benefits were watered down during the '90's, resulting in massive risk taking and erosion of income security for middle class Usonians.
Because the 1978 changes in federal policy were correlated with the flows of venture capital while the 1986 change was not, it seems reasonable to infer than the ERISA ruling was probably more important than the reduction in the capital gains tax in stimulating the flow of venture capital in 1978.

{William D. Bygrave, Jeffry A. Timmons, *Venture capital at the crossroads* Harvard (1992), p.272}

In most years since 1986, Congress has passed revisions to ERISA; during this time, voluntary pension funds have become a tool of economic policy management.

Erianna

Air-ee-ah-nah

Characteristically tense and anxious, and typically react to even minor frustrations by irritability, jumpiness and ineffective excitability. They typically overreact to environmental stimuli in an emotional way and have difficulty thinking and concentrating. In their social contacts they manifest considerable hostility. They suffer from ideas of reference and pervasive suspiciousness, which may, at times, take the form of paranoid thinking. They can be over-ruminative, and over ideational. Poor judgment and feelings of inflexibility are common.

Moodiness, hostility and excitability are common characteristics of people with such profiles. Feelings of grandiosity, poor temper control, hyperactivity and distractibility are common. A general pattern of under-control, lacking in inhibition, with complaining and whining means of dealing with others are commonly seen. Hostility and suspiciousness, tendencies to misinterpret social situations, and manipulativeness are also features common to people of this profile. There is also suggestion of a wish for help, an adolescent identity crisis and general self-confusion and weak ego strength are present.
