I don't think it could possibly last that long, but if you somehow actually started receiving a paycheck in July for minimum wage, I suspect you'd be offered free grace periods by your creditors, and maybe even interest free loans. People would climbing over each other to prevent the spectacle of even a single state worker losing their house or apartment because they couldn't pay the mortgage or rent.

Heck, your "victim" status might turn out to be a plus, not to mention the fact that as soon as the budget is signed you'd get retroactive pay.

So, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to hope that no budget is signed by July 1, and then call up your local television station to volunteer to be one of the "victims" for the local newscast. Come up with lots of terrible things that are happening. You can't afford medicine. The pet doesn't have it's special diet anymore and may die. Your mother in Kansas who depends on your support may lose her house.

And you just can't believe all this cruelty is CAUSED BY THE DEMOCRATS in Sacramento, LOL!

LOL!!! I thought I'd call Red Davis' office and ask HIM to call Wamu and explain why they won't be getting the mortgage check on time ;-o. Think he'd do it??? Nah. Now, don't mess with my puppies ;-)
