Well, you can always go fishing on those furlough days... life ain’t all bad...
That was kind of a cavalier retort IMO. This guy is actually doing something beneficial I presume...does not seem to be one of those union reps or affirmative hirings. Frankly, they could let go all of the ridicules jobs and leave the workers on the rolls full time.
Yes, they will probably not see any loss of pay when everything plays out. Still, it is a pain having your mind messed with in some political drama. Someone called into Herman Cain’s show today and asked an interesting question: Is the government going to indemnify those businesses which did not adhere to the law and give the required notices of potential layoffs due to His Excellency’s demanding they not give notice before the election? His answer was it will be up to Congress because he was not authorized to make that comment. Seems to me encouraging someone to violate the law is a high crime.
What a comedy show it is DC...tragedy would perhaps be a better term.
