In other words, furloughs will begin sometime before July 1, though Vilsack wouldn’t guess at how many days or months beforehand.

Instead of ‘forced’ furloughs that disrupt EVERYONE, why not knock off paid Holidays and either pay straight time + COMP time for those that do work.
I am sure some of this new fangled ‘personal days’, ‘paternity leave’ etc could revert back to the old days.
Of course do that and ‘the workers’ wouldn’t be able to take a sick day and leave day as quick as they accumulate them, again, back to the old days.
OLD isn’t always bad, in this case it could be beneficial for all.
Of course, if you were to do that, you would cut down on the number of people you can inconvenience.
Remember when our government worked for us and tried anything and everything to keep things going. I am sick of all these Cabinet secretaries politicizing their departments. Exactly right, Vilsack needs to make sure commerce continues with less money, instead of being a political prostitute for the President.
