Lingle cuts 3 days a month to all state employees

[Dan De Soto]

Wouldn't the laid off worker qualify for unemployement compensation, Quest(State) medical, and other welfare? I don't see how that would reduce the burden on the State. There are also a ton of State workers on the Eastside of Hawaii. A few months after furloughs or layoffs we can expect to see the recession finally hit Hilo. So far the westside (tourism side) has been the hardest hit with 20 -30 restauranst closed in the past year.

I've read a few but here is one of my favorite books on economic collapse: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591961...oh_product Its oversimplified but the core principles seem very solid. According to the book this is a financial preshock with the real crisis to America hit 3-5 years fom now.
