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.

Unbelievable. Sure, it's just a temporary injunction, but the judge can only order temporary injunctive relief if the plaintiff has demonstrated a likelihood of prevailing on the merits.

We'll never get out of this financial mess. The judiciary apparently won't let us.

Start handing out copies of the 10th ammendment - with every pink slip given to the employees who were going to be furloughed - but are now unemployed.

Will he also issue an injunction preventing banks from “bouncing” payroll checks written on overdrawn NY State checking accounts?

That is what I am wondering. We have to keep paying and paying and paying even if there is no money?

On an NY-related note....

(New York) State put freeze on hiring, then added 51,464 people

Gov. Furlough raises hell by boosting aides' pay

Frightening, isn't it?

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.

“Do Government job losses count in the unemployment numbers? /sarc”

If it were up to me they wounld not count because they are not “jobs” to begin with. Government employment is not a job in the economic sense. They are simply expenses to the taxpayers. Sorry if that offends anybody but it’s the absolute truth.
