Yup! I agree. But it's the unions that keep telling their members that they
will get them a bigger and better pension.

Yabut pensions didn't used to be so large and thus difficult to fund.
It's a pinch on city budgets and why they keep raising taxes and fines.

To have these overblown pension funds Wall Street had to be in on it.
Local governments and unions lack the expertise to implement anything like
that. Remember that Dubya wanted to turn over Social Security to Wall Street.
What will happen is the promised pensions won't be there when many of these
people retire.
You do have to wonder though why someone didn't ask "how is this even going to
work?" The answer would have been "well hell, it's boom time forever."

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.

They pay well and get lured to sign on the promise they'll keep
getting paid well into retirement which of course is ludicrous. 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.

Well, they don't pay that much and then there are all kinds of
considerations involved in hiring, like *diversity* etc. You get what you pay
for. I'm not saying minorities are less intelligent, I;m saying there are
higher priorities.

The scandal was apparently going on in some of the other communities
is the Bay Area. This is what happens when you hire stupid people as cops.
They don't like to hire smart people. Don't believe me, ask your local DA.
