While the Senate Banking Committee last week spun its wheels trying
to get JP Morgan chief Jamie Dimon to admit to something nefarious
during testimony about his “London Whale” trading loss, executives at
the big bank were concealing a far bigger scandal.
OK, it’s no
secret that nation’s public pension funds are in big trouble, holding
large “unfunded” liabilities owed to public workers once they retire.
But most politicians (New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is an exception)
will tell you the problem is fairly containable, that there are simple
fixes — such as raising taxes on the rich or pruning benefits.
