Shout-out to the Folks on Furlough

Here in SoCal -- and I imagine in other places as well -- DoD employees who have been furloughed can obtain (1) loan deferments and (2) $5,000 interest-free loans to help them out. These offers are from local credit unions. If you have been furloughed or are working without pay, please check with your bank to see if they have any special offers available for you.

Shout out to the folks who are excepted, meaning they are forced to work without pay.;
