Furlough Friday

I'm not sure how this works...but somehow, drastically reducing the income of almost 244,000 working, tax paying, Californians will fix the state's financial crisis. Logic be damned, we're happy to take one for the team, and glad the rest of you will be fine.

Never mind that we are making less and paying less taxes.

Forget that we can't afford to shop, dine out, have our cars serviced, our lawns mowed, our fences built, keep paying for cable service, or go on vacation. No day care providers are affected by us working 3 days (perhaps 4 next month!) less per month. Oh, and I'm sure the mortgage and consumer credit companies don't mind, either...we can issue them IOUs, right?

I did mention that there are more than 244,000 of us, didn't I?

And so, in my patriotic fervor and steadfast belief in our Able Leader, this blog will be dedicated on all Furlough Fridays to the Governor of the Great State of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Heil! Er...I mean, Hurray!
