So, 800K people won't be collecting paychecks off the taxpayers dimes, they will be collecting un-employment on the tax payer's dimes (800K will be wiped out of the taxable income system).

This is a calculated; more cloward piven if you ask me.

Anyone want to bet when the pink slips go out the media will gleefully report un-employment DOWN?

No, no. You are missing the shell game.

We have been told that the furlough days cannot be contiguous.

IOW, if the days are contiguous, then unemplyment can be collected. B/c of the way they are handling this, no unemployment can be collected.

An extra turn of the screw.
