Ahem... It's not Wall Street that makes the promises. It's the unions and the cities. The Police officers unions demand it. The cities have no choice but to go along with the demand, while kicking the can down the road to the next administration to fix.

That was just a scheme that Wall Street cooked up to get their hands on that pension money. Pensions weren't meant to keep paying you what you earned when working but instead to help out in old age. Trying to fund those accounts is crippling city governments.
