The number of furloughed state employees is growing. Georgia's budget crunch means furloughs for more than 6,000 workers at the State Department of Corrections. Those employees will have to take a day off with out pay in March, April, May and June. It's part of a plan the department submitted to Governor Perdue last year. His office recently approved it. Kristen Stancil is a Corrections spokesperson. "We were asked to cut six percent of our budget and this is one of the things that we decided to do. We've cut in other areas and this is one of the extra things we felt we needed to do to help get to that six percent that he requested we cut."

http://youtube.com/kingofthepaupers has videos explaining how Argentina's unions of government workers when faced with cuts accepted small-denomination state bonds that could pay for anyone's state services or taxes. Too bad unions of U.S. government workers won't take bond money too. Millennium Declaration UNILETS resolution C6 for a "time-based currency" "to restructure the global financial architecture." Timebanks growing in U.S. Govs should use them too.
