Here's an interesting tidbit regarding the government possible shutdown: All federal employees that are forced to take a furlow, for as long as it takes, will be back-paid when it is over.
How many of us REAL workers would be paid for not working during a layoff period?
Government employees that are furlowed cannot do any other work or risk possible prison time. (This one sounds like a stretch, but when you have a government like we do, hell, ANYTHING is conceivable)
When this "crisis" is over, they will automatically get their jobs back, yet how many hundreds of thousands of "real" workers had to start from square one when they lost their jobs due to the stellar ecomony we keep hearing about?
What it boils down to is that we currently have a govenment run by a circus of idiots that can't even decide which way is UP!!!
