It is kinda the governments fault for agreeing to these contracts.
Without furloughs, I guess NY will just have to fire some of these workers. I seriously doubt New Yorkers will notice.

Can they do that without a permission slip from some damn federal judge?
I agree with you. Others on here may blast you. They will say a contract should not be honored - that would be the less conservative among the FR community saying that.
