Problem is, if they don't get this sorted out (and by the sound of the current version of "compromise" working its way (or not) through Congress, even if they do), there are going to be a lot more people out of work.

I'm sure the two government agencies that are likely to be my meal ticket (directly or indirectly) in the near future are slated for massive cuts.
