A Month Off (without pay)?

If you've got friends in the organized crime world, here's some good news you may want to pass along. It could earn you a big tip. Or at least a pass should you at some future date turn rat.
The good news:

The FBI may have to shutdown — for a month or more — next year. While crime statistics are down in many places, that isn't the reason the G-men and women, and other Justice Department employees may be told to take an extended break. Without pay.

The furloughs, if they take place, would begin early next year as part of the sequestration process. That's an across-the-board budget cut hitting nearly every federal agency regardless of the importance of it's mission. The cuts would happen if Congress doesn't come up with a plan to trim just over one trillion dollars in spending over the next 10 years.
