Let the firings begin.
No one will even notice anyway.
One way or the other, the train wreck is coming. It will be interesting to see if the federal government remains outside guaranteeing this mess.
We sure have a huge group of communists judges running America.
Make Chris Christie the Governor of all the Northeastern States.
declare an emergency and pay them minimum wage
We'll never get out of this financial mess. The judiciary apparently won't let us.

Will he also issue an injunction preventing banks from “bouncing” payroll checks written on overdrawn NY State checking accounts?
Send the judge the bill for all 100,000 paychecks.

Do Government job losses count in the unemployment numbers? /sarc
(New York) State put freeze on hiring, then added 51,464 people
After watching Glenn Beck, now listening to Mark Levin and lurking here on Free Republic, I think I'm gonna explode!
The government is totally out of control on just about every level. I feel like it's hopeless.

Snort.
Damn. I was looking forward to every Friday off this summer.
