It's looking more and more likely -- maybe...
Bottom line -- 1 day a week don't come to work -- don't get paid that day. Every week for a maximum of 22 weeks.
I still don't know if it's a scare tactic (by whom not sure????).
Even if "sequestration" happens, furloughs aren't guaranteed. I think my friends and I will go to our congresspeople's office to protest on the day we are off.
My family can absorb it -- cutting back on investments and savings and no entertainment dollars....but there are others who can't.
No problem doing my part...but are others doing theirs?
